RE: The tariff classification of sweet roasted peppers from Greece and artichoke hearts from Spain.

Dear Ms. Manfra:

In your letter dated December 28, 2001, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Samples and a list of ingredients were submitted with your letter. The samples were forwarded to the United States Customs Laboratory for analysis.

Sweet Roasted Peppers contain roasted red peppers in water, salt, and vinegar. The vegetables are put up in glass jars containing 907 grams and 368.5 grams respectively. Laboratory analysis found the artichokes contained 0.8 percent acetic acid and the peppers contained 0.5 percent acetic acid.

The applicable subheading for the Marinated Artichoke Hearts will be 2001.90.2500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for vegetables, fruit, nuts, and other edible parts of plants, prepared or preserved by vinegar or acetic acidotherothervegetablesartichokes.
