RE:  The tariff classification of Neoscoa FW-182; FW-178; FW-441
and FW-710     from Japan  

Dear Mr. Pred: 

     In your letter dated June 25, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     Neoscoa FW-182, FW-178, FW-441 and FW-710 are products
composed of methyl oxirane and used as de-inking agents in the
pulp and paper industry. 

     The applicable HTS subheading for Neoscoa FW-182, FW-178,
FW-441 and FW-710 will be 3402.13.2010, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for organic
surface-active agents (other than soap); surface-active
preparations, washing preparations (including auxiliary washing
preparations) and cleaning preparations, whether or not
containing soap, other than those of heading 3401: nonionic:
other: fatty substances of animal or vegetable origin:
polyethers.  The duty rate will be 2.2 cents per kilogram plus
4.5 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought
to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.



                                   Sincerely,
