RE:  The tariff classification of dried vegetables from Israel

Dear Mr. Frankel:

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

     The product described as "green pea powder" is said to be
prepared by drum drying cooked green peas and grinding to a
powder.  It will be used in soups, sauces, and dips, providing
characteristic pea taste, texture, and color.  "green white leek
base powder" is made by drum drying green white leek on an
amyloid carrier, and grinding to a powder.  This material will
be used in soups, providing color, taste, and aroma.  Both
powders will be packed in 25-kilogram plastic bags, in cardboard
cartons. 

     The applicable subheading for the green pea powder will be
1106.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for  flour and meal of the dried leguminous
vegetables of heading 0713.  The duty rate will be 13 percent ad
valorem.
     
     The applicable subheading for the green white leek base
powder will be 2005.90.9500, HTS, which provides for other
vegetables prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or
acetic acid, not frozen...other vegetables...other.  The rate of
duty will be 17.5 percent ad valorem.         
     Articles classifiable under subheadings 1106.10.0000 and
2005.90.9500, HTS, which are products of Israel are entitled to
duty free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences
(GSP) upon compliance with all applicable regulations.

   Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to
give a classification ruling on lemon base powder, passion fruit
base powder, and pineapple base powder.  Your request for a
classification ruling should include the identity and quantity of
the "amyloid carrier," clarification as to whether these powders
are made from fruit or fruit juice, and samples of each.

     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,
