RE: The tariff classification of peanut oil from Nicaragua.

Dear Mr. Day:

In your letter dated May 12, 1997 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The subject merchandise is described as crude peanut oil, which will be imported in bulk in tankers.

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