RE: The tariff classification of alpha-chloromethyl naphthalene
(CAS# 86-52-2) from Japan.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated April 15, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for alpha-chloromethyl naphthalene
will be 2903.69.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other halogenated derivatives of
aromatic hydrocarbons. The rate of duty will be 9.1 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
