RE: The tariff classification of 410-215g Peroxyl Sulphate and 410-1kg Peroxyl Sulphate; 415-500ml Iron Chloride, 415-1L Iron Chloride, 415-4L Iron Chloride and 415-22L Iron Chloride; 416-50ml Sensitizing Emulsion, 416-100ml Sensitizing Emulsion and 416-15g Sensitizing Emulsion; 418-500ml Photographic Chemical from Canada

Dear Mr. Robertson:

In your letter dated July 1, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The information submitted with your request indicates the following:

1. 410-215g Peroxyl sulphate and 410-1kg Peroxyl sulphate are 100% ammonium persulfate also known as diammonium peroxodisulfate. They are used for etching printed circuits.

2. 415-500ml Iron Chloride, 415-1L Iron Chloride, 415-4L Iron Chloride and 415-22L Iron Chloride are 42 degree Baume solutions of ferric chloride. They are used for etching printed circuits.

3. 416-50ml Sensitizing Emulsion and 416-100ml Sensitizing Emulsion are positive photoresist products consisting of 2-ethoxyethylacetate, N-butyl acetate, xylene, and toluene. They are used as photosensitzing agents.

4. 416-125g Sensitizer Emulsion is a positives photoresist product consisting of petroleum solvent, 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, N-butyl acetate, xylene, toluene, 1-methoxy-2-propanol acetate and carbon dioxide. It is used as a photosensitizing agent.

5. 418-500ml Photographic Chemical is a solution consisting of sodium hydroxide and a small amount of surfactant in dionized water. It used as a developer for 416 photoresists.
