RE:  The tariff classification of "Quick Set" from Canada

Dear Mr. Dahm:

       In your letters dated April 22, 1991 and May 14, 1991, on
behalf of Redpath Sugars, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, you requested
a tariff classification ruling.  

       A sample accompanied your first letter, and an ingredients
breakdown was provided with your May letter.  The sample was
examined and disposed of.  "Quick Set" is a granular product
composed of 98.6 percent sugar, .7 percent apple pectin, and .7
percent tartaric acid, put up in one-kilogram, retail packages. 
The product is used by retail consumers to prepare homemade jams
and jellies.

     The applicable subheading for this product will be
2106.90.5050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for  food preparations not elsewhere
specified or included...other...subject to quotas established
pursuant to Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as
amended...provided for in subheading 9904.60.60.  The duty rate
will be 10 percent ad valorem.       

       Goods classifiable under subheading 2106.90.5050, HTS,
which have originated in the territory of Canada, will be
entitled to a 7 percent ad valorem 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,
