RE: The tariff classification of fruit and vegetables in vinegar from China.

Dear Mr. Raagas:

In your letter dated May 11, 2001, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Item FV 202216 Chili Star Fruit Vinegar contains tightly packed chili peppers and star fruit in a liquid medium of distilled white vinegar, citric acid, salt, sodium sulfate, sodium benzoate, and potassium sorbate, put up in a clear glass bottle. Laboratory analysis found the product contained 3.6 percent acetic acid. The vinegar is a product of the United States, the chili pepper, star fruit, and the other ingredients are products of China.
