RE:  The tariff classification of printing paper from the United
Kingdom.

Dear Mr. Dougherty:

     In your letter dated May 13, 1991, on behalf of your client,
The Madden Corporation, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
         
     A sample was submitted and will be retained for reference. 
It is described as a newsprint-type grade of uncoated paper used
for printing.  You indicate that it weighs 49 grams per square
meter and is composed of 55% thermomechanical pulp, 40% post-
consumer waste (re-pulped), and 3% to 4% clay.  We assume that it
will be imported in large rolls or sheets.

     The applicable subheading for the above-described paper will
be 4802.60.9040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other (than certain enumerated)
uncoated paper containing over 10% by weight of mechanical-
process fibers, of a kind used for printing or other graphic
purposes.  The rate of duty will be 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
