RE:  Classification of fresh citrus lemons

Dear Mr. Zaman:

     This is in response to your letter of May 13, 1994, requesting
the tariff classification of citrus lemons from Bangladesh and
India.

FACTS:

     The commodity consists of fresh citrus lemons to be imported
from Bangladesh and India.

ISSUE:

     What is the tariff classification of such lemons under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United States (HTS).

LAW AND ANALYSIS:

     Fresh citrus lemons are provided for in the tariff schedules
under the subheading 0805.30.20 of the HTS and are dutiable at 2.75
cents per kilogram from those countries that have "Most-Favored-
Nation" (MFN) status.  Bangladesh and India have MFN status.

HOLDING:

     The fresh citrus lemons are classifiable under the provision
for "Citrus fruit, fresh or dried:  Lemons and Limes:  Lemons" in
subheading 0805.30.20 of the HTS at 2.75 cents per kilogram.

                              Sincerely,

                              John Durant, Director
