RE:  The tariff classification of pyrolysis gasoline from
Venezuela.

Dear Mr. Smothers:

     In your letter dated August 16, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling for a pyrolysis gasoline.  Based on
specifications furnished with  your letter this product contains
by weight over 50 percent of aromatic constituents and over 65
percent by volume distills at 250 degrees C by ASTM D 86.  This
material will be processed through a distillation unit to extract
the benzene content.  The balance of the material will be used in
motor fuel blending.         

     The applicable subheading for this pyrolysis gasoline, will
be 2707.50.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures of
which 65 percent or more by volume (including losses) distills at
250 decrees C by ASTM D 85 method.  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,
