Receipt of Domestic Interested Party 

Petition Concerning Tariff 

Classification of Sugar Beet Thick 

Juice 

AGENCY: Customs and Border Protection, 

Department of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice of receipt of domestic 

interested party petition; solicitation of 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) has received a 

petition submitted on behalf of a 

domestic interested party requesting the 

reclassification under the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) of certain sugar beet thick 

juice. Petitioner contends that sugar beet 

thick juice competes directly with sugar 

and has been incorrectly classified in 

subheading 1702.90.4000, HTSUS, with 

a general rate of duty of 0.35¢ per liter, 

not subject to quota. Petitioner contends 

that the product is properly classifiable 

under various subheadings of heading 

1701, HTSUS, or, in the alternative, in 

subheading 1702.90.5800, HTSUS, and 

subject to quota. This document invites 

comments with regard to the correctness 

of the current classification. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 13, 2006. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number, by one of 

the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments 

via docket number USCBP–2006–0087. 

• Mail: Trade and Commercial 

Regulations Branch, Office of 

Regulations and Rulings, Bureau of 

Customs and Border Protection, 1300 

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. (Mint 

Annex), Washington, DC 20229. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

docket number for this notice of 

domestic interested party petition 

concerning the tariff classification of 

sugar beet thick juice. All comments 

received will be posted without change 

to http://www.regulations.gov, including 

any personal information provided.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

A petition has been filed under 

section 516, Tariff Act of 1930, as

the U.S. Beet Sugar Anticircumvention 

Coalition (USBSAC) representing over 

85 percent of U.S. sugar beet processing 

capacity, requesting that Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) reclassify 

imported sugar beet thick juice, as 

classified in New York Ruling letter 

(NY) J84482, dated October 21, 2003. 

CBP has classified this product under 

subheading 1702.90.4000, Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States,

containing added flavoring or coloring 

matter * * * other * * * derived from 

sugar cane or sugar beets * * * other 

* * * other’’, and has a general duty 

rate of 0.35 cents per liter, and is not 

subject to tariff-rate quota restrictions.

determined in accordance with the 

General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs). 

GRI 1 provides that the classification of 

goods shall be determined according to 

the terms of the headings of the tariff 

schedule and any relative Section or
