          RE: Modification of NY 834603, toner for copiers

          Dear Mr. Urata:

               In a ruling letter (NY 834603), our New York office provided
          you with the tariff classification for toners in bulk (drums) and
          in retail cartridges from Japan, for use in copy machines, under
          the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

               We have reconsidered our position on toners for use in copy
          machines, and have determined that toners 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 mchines 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 834603 is modified accordingly.

                                        Sincerely,





                                        John Durant, Director
                                        Commerical Rulings Division
