In your letter dated March 21, 2002, you requested a tariff classification ruling for AMO® Endosol® (Balanced Salt Solution) which you have stated will be used during ophthalmic surgery and surgical procedures of ears, nose, and throat requiring a physiological irrigant. The subject product contains no bacteriostat or antimicrobial agent and is intended for use only as a single-dose or short procedure irrigant.

The rate of duty will be 5 percent ad valorem.

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 Andrew Stone at 646-733-3032.
