Dear Mr. Hayward:



	In your letter dated May 10, 1996, you request that we review General Note

Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for colloidal
precious metals; inorganic compounds of precious metals, whether or not
chemically defined; amalgams of precious metals: Other compounds; amalgams.
Pursuant to General Note 3(a)(iii), 3(c), and 13, Cisplatin is entitled to the
Special Column 1 rate of duty, Free.



	This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs
Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).



	A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
