Dear Ms. Bingle: In your letter dated June 11, 1998 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Freudenberg Building Systems, Inc. of Lawrence, Massachusetts. The product designated Nora "1 Base Compound" is a colored paste (available in 41 different colors) composed primarily of polyalcohols (epoxide resins). Part of a two-component cold weld compound, the base compound is designed to be combined with Nora "2 Hardener" (hardener/curing agent for epoxide resins) for use as a jointing compound for Nora rubber flooring. The jointing compound is made prior to use, by mixing one can of hardener (180 grams) with one can of base compound (820 grams), and applied using a standard size caulking gun into the joints. The base compound is exclusively sold and used with the hardener. The applicable subheading for the base compound (when imported with or without its hardener) will be 3907.30.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for epoxide resins in primary forms. The rate of duty is 6.1 percent ad valorem.
