          RE: Importing yeast

          Dear Mr. Bingaman:

               This is in reference to your letter dated January 12, 1990,
          requesting information on importing yeast.

               Enclosed is a book called Importing into the United States.
          This book explains the procedures and regulations that must be
          followed to import into to the U.S.  The tariff law of the United
          States is the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
          Annotated (HTSUSA).  It is best to obtain a ruling on the tariff
          classification that will be assigned to the imported goods prior
          to importation.  To obtain a ruling you should send a ruling
          request to any Customs District Director or to the Area Director
          of Customs, New York Seaport, 6 World Trade Center, New York,
          N.Y. 10048.  A leaflet entitled "District Rulings Program" is
          enclosed; it will inform you as to what information must be
          included in your ruling request.  Also enclosed is a page from
          the HTSUSA with the provisions for yeast.  The apropriate duty
          rate column will depend on the country from which the goods are
          imported.

                                             Sincerely,




                                             John Durant, Director
                                             Commercial Rulings Division
