The subject merchandise, Amoxil, is an oral antibacterial
medicament containing the active ingredient, amoxicillin, which
is an antibiotic. Although you state in your letter that the
subject merchandise will be entered for consumption from a

Foreign Trade Zones. For a ruling on that matter you should

their derivatives: other: other: other. The rate of duty will be

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.
