RE: The tariff classification of Tire Seal Plus from Canada.
Dear Mr. Gurm:
In your letter dated June 29, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
According to your letter, the product indicated above is
composed of triethylene glycol, asbestos fibers, cellulose
thickner and various other components. It will be used to seal
punctures in pneumatic rubber tires.
The applicable subheading for the product described above
will be 3823.90.5050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for chemical mixtures not elsewhere
indicated. The rate of duty will be 5 percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable in the above subheading 3823.90.5050,
HTS, which are products of Canada, will be entitled to a 1
percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free Trade
Agreement (FTA), upon compliance with all applicable regulations.
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
