RE: The tariff classification of transformers from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Hannah:
In an undated letter, you requested a tariff classification
ruling on behalf of Energi-Lite, Westbrook, CT.
Your letter describes the article, identified as MID Number
TWCOMTEC6TAI, as a transformer having a power handling capacity of 30
VA. The transformer used to step down voltage from 277 V to 120 V in
emergency lighting applications.
The applicable subheading for the transformer (TWCOMTEC6TAI) will
be 8504.31.4030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for "Electrical transformers: Other: Having a power
handling capacity less than 40 VA. The rate of duty will be 6.6
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
