All are in fluid form, four containing finely chopped herbs and spices suspended in the liquid.

Orange Tarragon Dressing consists of 55 percent canola oil, 21 percent red wine vinegar, 21 percent concentrated orange juice, and 3 percent herbs and spices. Tomato & Herb Dressing is 40 percent canola oil, 35 percent red wine vinegar, 22 percent concentrated crushed tomatoes, and 3 percent herbs and spices. Spiced Mango Low Fat Dressing is composed of 44 percent water, 36 percent mango puree, 15 percent red wine vinegar, 3 percent herbs and spices, and one percent guar gum. Raspberry Fat Free Dressing is made from 64 percent water, 25 percent raspberry juice, 10 percent red wine vinegar, and one percent guar gum.

The applicable tariff provision for these dressings will be 2103.90.9040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for sauces and preparations therefor...other...other...other salad dressings. The general rate of duty will be 7.1 percent ad valorem.
