RE: The tariff classification of “MCD” from China.
Dear Ms. Miller:
In your letter dated March 3, 2003, you requested a tariff classification ruling for “MCD” which you have stated is an additive for coatings. It is composed of aluminum acetylacetonate, iron acetylacetone, and paraffin wax.

The rate of duty will be 5 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Andrew Stone at 646-733-3032.
