RE:  The tariff classification of "Swedish Sweetballs", a
confectionery          product from Sweden.

Dear Ms. Delleskoog:

     In your letter dated July 12, 1991, with additional
information provided in a letter dated August 14, 1991, you
requested a tariff classification ruling.         
     
     Your query concerns the classification of a confectionery
product known as "Swedish Sweetballs", consisting of 66 percent
water, 10 percent sugar, 6.6 percent cocoa, 6.6 percent coconut
flakes, 3.3 percent egg white, 3.3 percent agar and 3.3 percent
glucose.  The item will be sold at retail in bakeries,
confectionery stores and grocery stores.  A sample of the product
was submitted with your request.  The sample was opened,
examined and disposed of.

     The applicable subheading for the "Swedish Sweetballs" will
be 1806.90.0076, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for chocolate and other food preparations
containing cocoa...other...other...other...put up for retail
sale...chocolate confectionery.  The rate of duty will be 7
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,
