RE: The tariff classification of Kanamycin B (CAS4696-76-8), imported in bulk form, from China

Dear Mr. Chivini:

In your letter dated April 8, 2004, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The subject product, Kanamycin B, is a naturally occurring aminoglycoside antibiotic. According to The Merck Index (13th ed.), Kanamycin B is one of two minor congeners (the other being kanamycin C) which, along with kanamycin A (the major component), collectively form the antibiotic complex known as “Kanamycin.”

The applicable subheading for Kanamycin B, imported in bulk form, will be 2941.90.1010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Antibiotics: Other: NaturalAminoglycoside antibiotics.” The rate of duty will be free.

This merchandise may be subject to the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which is administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. You may contact them at 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857, telephone number 1-888-443-6332.

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

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Harvey Kuperstein at 646-733-3033.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
