RE: The tariff classification of Alizarine Yellow A, which is
2,3,4- trihydroxybenzophenone (CAS# 1143-72-2), from Japan.
Dear Ms. Tramontano:
In your letter dated April 14, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for Alizarine Yellow A will be
2914.50.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for aromatic ketone-phenols and ketones
with other oxygen function. The rate of duty will be 11 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 been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
