RE: The tariff classification of Brugal GM4 from Spain.
Dear Campbell:
In your letter dated October 7, 1997, you requested a tariff classification ruling for Brugal GM4 which is a mixture of Chromium (VI) Oxide and (Ortho) Phosphoric Acid. You have stated it will be used as a metal finishing-passivation treatment for coil.

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 Thomas Brady at 212-466-5747.
