RE:  The tariff classification of a catalytic pad from France.

Dear Mr. Lawrence:

     In your letter dated July 18, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.         
     
     According to your request the pad is composed of silica and
alumina fibers and is impregnated with a platinum salt. It is
used to cleanse exhaust fumes coming from your heater.      

     The applicable subheading for the pad will be 3815.12.0000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for supported catalysts.  This subheading is duty free. 
 

     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
