RE: The tariff classification of trays for line replaceable
units from England
Dear Mr. Gonzalez:
In your letter dated March 17, 1993, on behalf of Barry
Controls, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is a tray for an airplane line replaceable
unit. The LRU is commonly referred to as "the black box." The
tray holds the box and mounts into a rack system on the airplane.
It is made of aluminum, roughly L-shaped, and about 14 inches
long, 5 inches wide and 5 inches deep.
The applicable subheading for the tray will be 8302.49.6050,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for base metal mountings and fittings, other mountings,
fittings and similar articles, of iron or steel, of aluminum or
zinc, other, for aircraft, vessels and other vehicles. The rate
of duty will be 5.7 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 8302.49.6050, HTS,
which are products of England, and are certified for use in civil
aircraft in accordance with General Note 3(c)(iv), HTS, are
entitled to duty free treatment under the Agreement on Trade in
Civil Aircraft 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.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
