Dear Mr. Kojima:

In your letter dated February 28, 1996, on behalf of Maui Pineapple Company Ltd., Maui, Hawaii, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for the canned fruit salad will be 2008.92.1040, HTS, which provides for fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants...otherwise prepared or preserved... not elsewhere specified or included...other...mixtures...in airtight containers and not containing apricots, citrus fruits, peaches or pears. The general rate of duty will be 6.5 percent ad valorem.

Your questions regarding the product's dutiable value, the effect of the zone status on this value, and country of origin marking are being referred to the Office of Regulations and Rulings, U.S. Customs Service Headquarters, 1301 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington D.C. 20229. A ruling will be issued to you from that office.
