RE:	The tariff classification of a ceramic flooring brick from Venezuela.



Dear Mr. Villena:



	In your letter dated May 3, 1996, on behalf of International Ceramic Group,
you requested a tariff classification ruling.  	



     The sample submitted consists of a ceramic flooring hollow brick, measuring
approximately 9 inches by 3 3/4 inches by       2 inches, which will be utilized
as brick pool coping.



	The applicable subheading for the ceramic flooring brick will be
6904.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other ceramic flooring blocks, support or filler tiles and the
like.  The duty rate will be 2.9 percent ad valorem.



	Articles classifiable under subheading 6904.90.0000, HTS, which are
products of Venezuela, are entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized
System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance with all applicable regulations, if
the GSP is renewed.



	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
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported.  If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National
Import Specialist     George Kalkines at 212-466-5794.
