RE: The tariff classification of Gamlenite 6201 and 6201P and
Vasconite 252 from Canada.
Dear Mr. McKenny:
In your letter dated February 17, 1993, you requested a
tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client Lutzman
Chemical International Inc.
According to your letter Gamlenite 6201 contains lime,
manganese dioxide and fumed silica, while 6201P contains an
additional component of copper chloride. Vasconite 252 is
composed of mineral oil, sorbitam salt, magnesium oxide,
mangonese soap and montmorillionite clay.
The applicable subheading for the products described above
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS)
will be as follows:
Product HTS no. Duty
Gamlenite 6201 3823.90.5050 5 percent ad valorem
Gamlenite 6201P 3823.90.5050 5 percent ad valorem
Vasconite 252 3823.90.4500 7 percent ad valorem
Articles classifiable under subheading 3823.90.5050 or
3823.90.4500, HTS, which are products of Canada, are entitled to
duty free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences
(GSP) 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
Area Director
