In your letter dated March 28, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling for Clomethiazole (Chemical Name - 1,2-Ethane Disulfonic Acid Compound with 5-(2-Chloroethyl)-4-Methiazole [1:2]) which you have stated will be used as a neuro-protective agent for patients at risk of stroke. The product will be imported in bulk form.

The rate of duty will be 7.3 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Thomas Brady at 212-466-5747.
