RE:  The tariff classification of Pintklot (paint extender) from
Venezuela.

Dear Mr. Stumler:

     In your letter dated July 16, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.         
     
     Pintklot is a paint extender composed of various inorganic
compounds. It is mixed with premium Latex paint which provides a
finish that allows resistance to formation of mold and mildew and
protects against humidity and sun-damage.   

     The applicable subheading for the Pintklot will be
3823.90.3900, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other mixtures of two or more inorganic
compounds.  This product will be free of duty.   

     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,

                                   
  
                                   Jean F. Maguire
