RE:  The tariff classification of flavored drinks from Thailand.

Dear Mr. Drolett:

     In your letter dated August 27, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  

     Information was submitted with your initial request dated
August 8, 1991.  The subject merchandise called "Zip Sip" is a
finished drink in various fruit flavors, packaged in 177
milliliter containers.  It is stated to contain water, sugar,
natural fruit juice (10 percent), a stabilizer, glucose, citric
acid, natural flavor, and sodium benzoate.   

     The applicable subheading for the "Zip Sip" flavored drinks
will be 2202.10.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for  waters...containing added sugar
or other sweetening matter or flavored...other.  The duty rate
will be 0.3 cents per liter.            

     Articles classifiable under subheading 2202.10.0060, HTS,
which are products of Thailand are entitled to duty free
treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) 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,
