RE:  The tariff classification of a spent solvent from China.

Dear Mr. Loomis:

     In your letter dated March 26, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling for a spent solvent.  This product which is
generated during the production of a herbicide is a mixture of
xylene, methanol, monoethanolamine, bensulfuron methyl, a
surfactant and other dissolved solids.  You state that the
product is to be used in a plant's boiler furnace for heat/energy
production.       

     The applicable subheading for this spent solvent will be
3823.90.2900, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other mixtures containing 5 percent or
more by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic
substances.  The rate of duty will be 3.7 cents per kilogram plus
13.6 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,
