RE: The tariff classification of a food preparation from Ireland

Dear Ms. Buckley:

In your letter dated March 23, 2004 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Two products are described in your letter. Food Preparation 10C90B is a blend of 90 percent anhydrous milk fat and 10 percent sodium caseinate. Food Preparation 10W90B consists of 90 percent anhydrous milk fat and 10 percent whey protein concentrate. The products will be used as ingredients in soups, sauces, frozen desserts, and cheese substitutes.

The applicable subheading for these two food preparations, when imported in quantities that fall within the limits described in additional U.S. note 10 to chapter 4, will be 2106.90.6400, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for food preparations not elsewhere specified or includedotherother containing over 10 percent by weight of milk solidsdairy products described in additional U.S. note 1 to chapter 4described in additional U.S. note 10 to chapter 4 and entered pursuant to its provisions. The rate of duty will be 10 percent ad valorem. If the quantitative limits of additional U.S. note 10 to chapter 4 have been reached, the products will be classified in subheading 2106.90.6600, HTS, and dutiable at the rate of 70.4 cents per kilogram plus 8.5 percent ad valorem. In addition, products classified in subheading 2106.90.6600, HTS, will be subject to additional duties based on their value, as described in subheadings 9904.04.59 to 9904.04.66, HTS

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
