Dear Mr. Maloney:

In your letter dated March 29, 2004, on behalf of your client Pfizer Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling for 4-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-1-Tetralone which you have stated is used in the manufacture of sertraline hydrochloride, an active ingredient in the anti-depressant Zoloft™.
