RE: The tariff classification of H-Arg-Pro-PNA (CAS # 157054-08-5), H-Val-Val-OH (CAS # 3918-94-3), Fmoc-Asn(trt)-OH (CAS # 132388-59-1), Boc-Lys-OH (CAS # 13734-28-6), Amyloid β Protein (1-42) (CAS# 107761-42-2) and H-Leu-Leu-Leu-OH (CAS# 10329-75-6) from Switzerland

Dear Ms Novak:

In your letter dated August 24, 2000, you requested, on behalf of your client Bachem Bioscience, Inc., a tariff classification ruling.

H-Val-Val-OH, also known as L-Valyl-L-Valine, is an acyclic carboxyamide-function compound used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. Boc-Lys-OH, also known as N2-[(1,1-Dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-L-lysine, is an nonaromatic acyclic carbamate compound used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. H-Leu-Leu-Leu-OH, also known as N-(N-L-leucyl-L-leucyl)-L-leucine, is an acyclic carboxyamide-function compound used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.

The applicable subheading for H-Val-Val-OH, Boc-Lys-OH and H-Leu-Leu-Leu-OH will be 2924.10.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Carboxyamide-function compounds; amide-function compounds of carbonic acid: Acyclic amides (including acyclic carbamates) and their derivatives; salts thereof: Other: Other.. The rate of duty will be 6.5 percent ad valorem. The rate of duty in 2001 will remain the same.

Fmoc-Asn(trt)-OH, also known N2-[(9H-Fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]-N-(triphenylmethyl)-l-asparagine, is an aromatic carboxyamide-function compound used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.

The applicable subheading for Fmoc-Asn(trt)-OH will be 2924.29.7000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Carboxyamide-function compounds; amide-function compounds of carbonic acid: Cyclic amides (including cyclic carbamates) and their derivatives; salts thereof: Other: Aromatic: Other: Other: Other: Products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI.. The rate of duty will be 9.3 percent ad valorem. The rate of duty in 2001 will be 8.6 percent ad valorem.

Amyloid β Protein (1-42), also known as Glycopeptide (Human clone 9-110 Amyloid A4 Peptide Moiety) is an aromatic, heterocyclic compound containing an unfused pyrazole ring. The product is a 42 amino acid sequence used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.

The applicable subheading for Amyloid β Protein (1-42) will be 2933.19.3700, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only: Compounds containing an unfused pyrazole ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure: Other: Aromatic or modified aromatic: Other: Other: Products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI.. The rate of duty will be 9.3 percent ad valorem. The rate of duty in 2001will be 8.6 percent ad valorem.

H-Arg-Pro-PNA, also known as L-Arginyl-N-(4-nitrophenyl)-L-prolinamide acetate, is an aromatic heterocyclic compound containing a pyrrolidine ring. The product is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.

The applicable subheading for H-Arg-Pro-PNA will be 2933.90.7900, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only: Other: Aromatic or modified aromatic: Other: Other: Products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI.. The rate of duty will be 9.3 percent ad valorem. The rate of duty in 2001 will be 8.6 percent ad valorem.
