          RE: Modification of NY 834153, copy machine toner

          Dear Mr. Veny:

               In a ruling letter (NY 834153), dated December 27, 1988, our
          New York office provided you with the tariff classification for
          "Monroe Toners and Developers for use in "Monroe Copying
          Machines", under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
          States (HTSUS).

               We have reconsidered our position on toners and developers
          for use in copy machines, and have determined that toners and
          developers are properly classifiable under heading 3707.90.30,
          HTSUS, which provides for other chemical preparations for
          photographic uses.

               A copy of our ruling of September 29, 1989 (HQRL 084572)
          stating our present position on the classification of toners for
          use in copy machines is enclosed for your reference.  Also
          enclosed for your reference is a copy of Section 179.9, Customs
          Regulations (19 CFR 177.9), including the recent amendment to
          this regulation, which pertains to the effect of ruling letters,
          modification or revocation.

               NYRL 834153 is modified accordingly.

                                        Sincerely,





                                        John Durant, Director
                                        Commerical Rulings Division
