RE:  The tariff classification of 2-ethyl hexyl nitrate from

Dear Mr. Turpinseed:

     In your letter dated April, 22, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.         

     The applicable subheading for 2-ethyl hexyl nitrate will be
2920.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for esters of inorganic acids.  The rate of
duty will be 3.7 percent ad valore.   

     The applicable subheading for 1-decene, homopolymer,
hydrogenated, will be 3902.90.0050, (HTS). The rate of duty will
be 2.2 cents per kilogram plus 7.7 percent ad valorem,

     Goods classifiable under subheading 2920.90.5000, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
1.4 percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.

     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,
