Dear Mr. D’Innocenzo:

In your letter dated March 31, 2003, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The subject products, Fmoc-Asn(trt)-OH, Fmoc-Gly-OH, Fmoc-D-Val-OH and Fmoc-L-Ile-OH are aromatic carboxyamide-function compounds. Fmoc-L-Ala-OH x H2O is composed of a separate chemically defined compound and water. Chapter 29 Note 1 (d) includes separate chemically defined organic compounds dissolved in water. Therefore, product is also an aromatic carboxyamide-function compound. All products are indicated for use in the manufacture of peptides, which are then used as therapeutics or pharmaceutical intermediates.
