RE:  Classification of frozen Australian "Boneless Cheekmeat" or
     offal of bovine animals

Dear Mr. Morrison:

     This is in response to your letter of October 12, 1994,
requesting the tariff classification and quota of frozen "Boneless
Cheekmeat" from Australia.

FACTS:

     The commodity consists of frozen, boneless "cheekmeat" or
edible offal from Australia.

ISSUE:

     What is the tariff classification of such offal under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United States (HTS)?

LAW AND ANALYSIS:

     "Cheekmeat" or edible offal of bovine animals, frozen, is
provided for under subheading 0206.29.0000 of the HTS and is free
of duty.

HOLDING:

     The frozen, boneless "cheekmeat" is classifiable under the
provision for "[e]dible offal...[o]f bovine animals, frozen:
[o]ther" in subheading 0206.29.0000 of the HTS and is free of duty. 
There is no quota on offal from Australia.

                              Sincerely,



                              John Durant, Director
