          RE: Modification of NY 831226, toner cartridges

          Dear Mr. Kuki:

               In a ruling letter (NY 831226), dated August 11, 1988, our
          New York office provided you with the tariff classification of a
          toner cartridge, a plastic waste toner bottle and a fuser
          cleaning pad  under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
          States (HTSUS).

               We have reconsidered our position on toners and have
          determined that toners are properly classifiable under heading
          3707.90.30, HTSUS, which provides for other chemical preparations
          for photographic uses.

               A copy of our ruling of September 29, 1989 (HQRL 084572),
          stating our present position on the classification of toners for
          use in copy machines is enclosed for your reference.  Also
          enclosed for your reference is a copy of Section 179.9, Customs
          Regulations (19 CFR 177.9), including the recent amendment to
          this regulation, which pertains to the effect of ruling letters,
          modification or revocation.

               NYRL 831226 is modified accordingly.

                                        Sincerely,




                                        John Durant, Director
                                        Commerical Rulings Division
