NY 856525 Oct 16, 1990 CLA-2-28:S:N:N1:235 856525 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 2846.90.2010 Mr. John M. Peterson Neville, Peterson & Williams 39 Broadway New York, New York 10006 RE: The tariff classification of a powder composed of europium oxide and very small amounts of gadolinium, yttrium and neodynium oxides used in the electronics field from Japan. Dear Mr. Peterson: In your letter dated September 20, 1990, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client USR Optonix Inc. It is our understanding, based on a telephone call with you, that the manufacturer allows the remenant oxides to remain in the product because these residues enhance the electronic abilities of the compound. Based on this information, the applicable subheading for the product described above will be 2846.90.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for mixtures of rare earth oxides except cerium oxides. This subheading is free of duty. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, Jean F. Maguire Area Director New York Seaport
