RE: The tariff classification of Orimulsion from Venezuela

Dear Ms. Wright:

In your letter dated October 12, 1990, on behalf of your client, Bitor America Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The prospective import, Orimulsion is a natural bitumen (asphalt) which has been combined with water and stabilized with a surfactant to form an asphalt emulsion.

The applicable subheading for the Orimulsion will be 2715.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for bituminous mixtures based on natural asphalt, on natural bitumen, on petroleum bitumen, on mineral tar or mineral tar pitch. The rate of duty will be free.

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,


Previous Ruling Next Ruling
