RE: The tariff classification of preserved onions from Italy.

Dear Ms. Mollinary:

In your letter dated February 17, 2004, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Borretane Onions in Balsamic Vinegar is said to contain 55 percent pearl onions, 25.26 percent water, 7.09 percent sugar, 8.86 percent balsamic vinegar, 1.77 percent wine vinegar, 2 percent salt. Laboratory analysis found the onions contained 0.99 percent acetic acid. The onions are put up for retail sale in glass jars containing 10 oz, net weight.

The applicable subheading for the Borretane Onions in Balsamic Vinegar will be 2001.90.3400, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for vegetables, fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, prepared or preserved by vinegar or acetic acidotherothervegetablesonions.
