In your letter dated February 13, 2004, on behalf of Vitol S.A. Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling for a refined petroleum derivative, with no single hydrocarbon compound present at 50 percent or more by weight, that is intended for further processing into gasoline. You provided the following analysis:

Research Octane No. (RON) 90.7
