Dear Ms. Contestable:
In your letter dated July 9, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling for Acetophenone which is used as a catalyst
and in organic synthesis.
The applicable subheading will be 2914.39.9000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
ketones and quinones, whether or not with other oxygen function, and
their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives:
aromatic ketones without other oxygen function: other. The rate of
duty will be 9.3 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
