Dear Ms. Lee: 

     In your letter dated July 8, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     The applicable HTS subheading for H Acid (CAS # 90-20-0)
also known as 1-Amino-8-hydroxy-3,6-naphthalenedisulfonic acid

States (HTS), which provides for oxygen-function amino-compounds:
amino-naphthols and other amino-phenols, their ethers and esters,
other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen
function; salts thereof: aminohydroxynaphthalenesulfonic acids
and their salts: 1-amino-8-hydroxy-3,6-naphthalenedisulfonic
acid.  The duty rate will be 5.8 percent ad valorem.  This
product is temporarily free of duty under 9902.29.33, HTS.  

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section

to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.



                                   Sincerely,
