Dear Ms. Jardak:

     In your letter dated August 13, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     You indicate in your letter that you intend to import
Trichlorfon (Dylox ) Technical (an organophosphate insecticide)
into a foreign trade zone, where you will utilize it, as the
active ingredient, in the production of the following formulated
insecticide products (preparations): Dylox  80 Concentrate;
Dylox  80% SP; and Dylox  80% Turf and Ornamental.  With respect
to Dylox  420, we require the percentage composition by weight of
each ingredient (active and inert) making up this product, before
we can issue a tariff classification ruling.

     The applicable subheading for Trichlorfon Technical,
imported in bulk form, will be 2931.00.9030, Harmonized Tariff

organo-inorganic compounds: Other: Other: Organo-phosphorus
compounds."  The rate of duty will be 3.7 percent ad valorem. 
The applicable subheading for Dylox  80 Concentrate, Dylox  80%
SP, and Dylox  80% Turf and Ornamental will be 3808.10.5000, HTS,
which provides for: "Insecticides, ... , put up in forms or
packings for retail sale or as preparations or articles ... :
Insecticides: Other: Other: Other."  The rate of duty will be 5
percent ad valorem.
