RE: The tariff classification of biscuit products from Belarus

Dear Ms. Novikova:

In your letter dated September 5, 2000 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Samples and ingredients breakdowns were submitted with your letter. The samples were examined and disposed of. The products, called “waffles,” are snack foods consisting of three thin, baked wafer layers with a variety of sweet fillings. The products are put up for retail sale in packages weighing 100 grams, net weight, and containing three units per pack. “Ananasnie” is said to consist of sugar, fat, flour, eggs, salt, baking soda, citric acid, and flavors. “Artek” is composed of sugar, fat, flour, cocoa powder, dry milk, egg powder, baking soda, salt, and flavors. “Chernomorskie” contains sugar, fat, flour, cocoa powder, eggs, dry milk, flavored, salt, and baking soda. “Iuzhniye” consists of sugar, fat, flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and fructose. “Slivochnie” is made from fat, sugar, flour, dry milk, egg yolk, salt, baking soda, and flavors.

The applicable subheading for the “Ananasnie,” “Artek,” “Chernomorskie,” “Iuzhniye, “and “Slivochnie” biscuit products will be 1905.30.0049, HTS, which provides for bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits and other bakers’ wares, whether or not containing cocoasweet biscuits; waffles and wafersotherother. The rate of duty will be free.

Section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1304), provides, in general, that all articles of foreign origin imported into the United States must be legibly, conspicuously, and permanently marked to indicate the English name of the country of origin to an ultimate purchaser in the United States. The implementing regulations to 19 U.S.C. 1304 are set forth in Part 134, Customs Regulations (19 CFR Part 134). The samples you have submitted do not appear to be properly marked with the country of origin. You may wish to discuss the matter of country of origin marking with the Customs import specialist at the proposed port of entry.

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 Stanley Hopard at 212-637-7065.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
