RE: The tariff classification of "Replens" vaginal moisturizer
from Switzerland
Dear Mr. Czubak:
In your letter dated March 17, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
"Replens" is sold at retail in a package containing three
single use, pre-filled applicators. The product, in gel form, is
used to replenish vaginal moisture. The product does not contain
medicinal properties.
The applicable HTS subheading for "Replens" vaginal
moisturizer will be 3304.99.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for preparations for the
care of the skin (other than medicaments). The duty rate will be
4.9 percent ad 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
Area Director
