RE: The tariff classification of 422A-340g Chemical Mixture and 422-1L Chemical Mixture from Canada

Dear Mr. Robertson:

In your letter dated May 28, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The information submitted with your request indicates that 422A-340g Chemical Mixture and 422-1L Chemical Mixture are silicone conformal coatings that are used as protective coatings for PC boards.

422A-340g Chemical Mixture consists of petroleum solvent, ethyl acetate, silicon resin, xylene, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane and a UV indicator.

422-1L Chemical Mixture consists of petroleum solvent, ethyl acetate, silicon resin and xylene.

The applicable subheading for the 422A-340g Chemical Mixture and 422-1L Chemical Mixture will be 3208.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for paints and varnishes (including enamels and lacquers) based on synthetic polymers or chemically modified natural polymers, dispersed or dissolved in a nonaqueous medium; solutions as defined in note 4 to this chapter: Other. The general rate of duty will be 3.2 percent ad valorem.

Goods that originate in Canada may be eligible for a special rate of duty under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). However, there is insufficient information at this time to determine whether these goods qualify under NAFTA. Please see General Note 12 of the HTS.

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 V. Gualario at 212-466-5744.

Sincerely,

Roger J. Silvestri
Director
