Dear Mr. Loyns: In your letter dated February 15, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling. A sample and an ingredients breakdown was submitted with your letter. The sample was forwarded to the United States Customs laboratory for analysis. The product, “Grand Finale Instant Whip Up”, is an off-white colored powder, said to contain between 28-30 percent sugar, 22-25 percent glucose solids, 18-20 percent coconut/palm kernel oil, 13-15 percent whey powder, 6-8 percent sodium caseinate, 4-6 percent propylene glycol monostearate, 1.69 percent each of mono and diglycerides and acetylated monoglycerides, 1.20 percent alginate, 1.14 percent artificial flavor, and less than one percent each of xanthan gum, natural butter flavor, and food colors. Laboratory analysis found the sample contained 35.8 percent sucrose and 32.1 percent milk solids. The product will be packed in plastic-lined cardboard boxes containing 3 and 12 kilograms, and 6 and 26 pounds, net weight, and sold to bakeries and food service distributors. It is to be whipped with cold water and used as a desert topping, pastry filling, and cake decorating material.
