RE:  The tariff classification of aluminum phosphide from China.

Dear Mr. Roberts:

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

     The applicable subheading for aluminum phosphide when bulk
packed, will be 2848.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for phosphides of metal. This
subheading is duty free. The applicable subheading for aluminum
phosphide, when packaged for retail sale, will be 3808.10.3000,
(HTS), which provides for insecticides containing inorganic
substances. The rate of duty will be 5 percent ad valorem.  

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.



                                   Sincerely,
