RE: The tariff classification of "Milpole", a soft drink from Japan.

Dear Mr. Castagna:

In your letter dated March 17, 1994, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Daiei Trading Co., Inc., located at 56-71 55th Street, Maspeth, NY 11378.

Your query concerns the classification of a soft drink which is packaged in plastic tubes each containing 90 cc of liquid. There are ten plastic tubes to each retail package, for a total of 30 ounces per package. The liquid is composed of 81 percent water, 9.46 percent glucose, 7 percent fructose, 0.88 percent powdered skim milk and small amounts of citric acid, artificial flavor, F.D. & C. Blue #1, Yellow #5 and Red #40. A sample package was included with your request. The sample was opened, examined and disposed of.

The applicable subheading for the soft drink will be 2202.90.9090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavored, and other nonalcoholic beverages, not including fruit or vegetable juices of heading 2009...other...other... other. The rate of duty will be 0.3 cents per liter.

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

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
