acid from Norway
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
In your letter dated January 6, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of your client Acme-Hardesty Co.

fatty acid will be 1519.19.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for industrial
monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining; industrial

valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have already been filed, this ruling should be brought
to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
