2511.10.10) (up to 350,000 tons annually). Ground barite is used in the

baritefrom abroad. The duty rate on the raw barite is $1.25 per metric 
ton.
    This application requests authority for Baker Hughes to conduct the

the duty on the finished product. Baker Hughes will also realize

become scrap/waste during manufacturing. The application indicates that 
the FTZ-related savings would improve the plant's international
