Dear Mr. Corboy:

In your letter dated October 8, 1990, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for Schaefer's acid sodium salt, which is 6 hydroxy-2-naphthalene sulfonic acid sodium salt (CAS# 135-76-2) will be 2908.20.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other sulfonated derivatives of phenols or phenol-alcohols. The rate of duty will be 1.5 cents per kilogram plus 19.4 percent ad valorem. Duty on this product has been temporarily suspended under HTS heading 9902.29.10
