RE: The tariff classification of ground, granulated, and powdered onion, from Mexico

Dear Mr. Junker:

In your letter dated January 17, 1991, on behalf of Basic Vegetable Products, King City, California, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Samples and technical information were submitted with your letter. The samples were examined and disposed of. All are produced from onions washed, sliced, dried and ground in an onion mill. Powdered onion is a white amorphous product with no discrete particle appearance. Its intended use is in food products where onion flavor is required without vegetable appearance or texture. Granulated onion is a free flowing product with very small particle size. This product, like the powder, is said to provide flavor without onion appearance or texture, and has the added advantage of free-flowing characteristics. Ground onion is a free-flowing product with larger particle size, to be used where onion flavor and discrete particle size are required.

The applicable subheading for the powdered onion will be 0712.20.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for dried vegetables, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder... onions...powder or flour. The rate of duty will be 35 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the granulated onion and ground onion will be 0712.20.4000, HTS, which provides for dried vegetables...onions...other. The rate of duty will be 25 percent ad valorem.

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
