Dear Mr. Saunders:
In your letter dated January 30, 1992 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The L-8300 Electronic Column Gauge is used for large volume
or automated dimensional inspections. The gauge comes in two
versions, LVDT type and air gauge, and features a 10-inch LED
bargraph column.
The L-8300 LVDT Module and the Air/Electronic Module are
circuit boards used in the above gauges.
The L-8351 Electronic Display Unit is a digital display
instrument which which may be used in conjunction with the column
gauges and their circuit boards.
The applicable subheading for the L-8300 Electronic Column
Gauge, with or without the circuit board modules, and the L-8351
Electronic Display Unit will be 9031.80.0080, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other
measuring or checking instruments, appliances and machines. The
duty rate will be 4.9 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the L-8351 LVDT and
Air/Electronic Modules when separately imported will be
9031.90.6090, HTS, which provides for parts of measuring or
checking instruments, appliances and machines.
Goods classifiable under subheadings 9031.80.0080 and
9031.90.6090, HTS, which have originated in the territory of
Canada, will be entitled to a 2.9 percent rate of duty under the
United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
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.
