RE: The tariff classification of refined naphthalene (CAS# 91-
20-3) from China.
Dear Ms. Zimmer:
In your letter dated February 18, 1992 and written on behalf
of your client, Sun East Enterprises, Inc., you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for refined naphthalene will be
2902.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other cyclic hydrocarbons. The rate of
duty will be 10.4 percent ad valorem.
Products classified in HTS 2902.90.5000, which are actually
used to make photographic color couplers, are temporarily free of
duty under HTS 9902.29.01 upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.
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 been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
