classification ruling.

     Nifedipine of West German origin will be imported by you
into the West Haven Foreign Trade Zone (162-A).  In the trade
zone the product is processed into a solution, combining active
ingredients, sterile water and other inert ingredients.  The
Nifedipine solution will be removed from the FTZ and entered into
the United States in a bulk form for further processing into
capsules for use as an antianginal drug.

     The applicable subheading for the Nifedipine solution will
be 3003.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of two or more
constituents which have been mixed together for therapeutic or
prophylactic uses, not put up in measured doses or in forms or
packings for retail sale, other.  The rate of duty will be 6
percent ad valorem
