RE: The tariff classification of a digital channel bank from
Singapore
Dear Mr. Diran:
In your letter dated December 23, 1988, on behalf of Telco
Systems, Fremont CA, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The digital channel bank, identified in your letter as the
Muxview Computer-Controlled Digital Channel Bank, appears to be
dedicated to the transmission of signals representing voice,
symbols, and other data using a line connection.
The applicable subheading for the Muxview Computer-
Controlled Digital Channel Bank will be 8517.30.1040, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
"Telephonic Switching Apparatus. The rate of duty will be 8.5
percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
