RE: The tariff classification of Geolife® Hygiene for Cattle, Geolife® Hygiene for Pigs, Geolife® Hygiene for Horses, Geolife® Hygiene for Poultry and Geolife® Hygiene for Fish from Switzerland

Dear Mr. Springer:

In your letter dated July 14, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling for the Geolife® Hygiene+ products. A sample was submitted with your ruling request for review. The five products named above each consist of three components ("Part 1", "Part 2" and "Part 3") containing enzymes, coenzymes, vitamins, plant extracts and other natural components that are mixed together, prior to application. As stated in your letter, the products will be used to create a healthier livestock environment by rapidly decomposing waste into humus, which in turn, reduces foul odors and harmful ammonia exhalations. The Geolife® Hygiene+ products will be packaged for retail sale in a "Home" size box weighing 0.58 kilogram and a "Professional" size box weighing 2 kilograms. The sample will not be returned.

The applicable subheading for the Geolife® Hygiene for Cattle, Geolife® Hygiene for Pigs, Geolife® Hygiene for Horses, Geolife® Hygiene for Poultry and Geolife® Hygiene for Fish will be 3824.90.9190, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including whose consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included: other. The rate of duty will be 5 percent ad valorem.
