The sample was examined and disposed of. Su Guttiau brand Guttiau Di Ardauli is a snack food in the form of thin, crispy chips made from durum wheat semolina, water, sea salt, vegetable oil, and beer leavening. The ingredients are mixed, baked, fried in oil, salted, and put up in clear plastic bags containing 100 grams, net weight. The applicable subheading for the snack food will be 1905.90.9030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits and other bakers’ wares, whether or not containing cocoa…other…other…corn chips and similar crisp savory snack foods. The rate of duty will be 4.5 percent ad valorem.

The implementing regulations to 19 U.S.C. 1304 are set forth in Part 134, Customs Regulations (CFR Part 134). The sample you have submitted is not properly marked with the country of origin.
