RE: The tariff classification of bridge diodes from Taiwan

Dear Mr. Dailey .:

In your letter dated March 25, 1993, on behalf of Microsemiconductors Corp. of Chatsworth California, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The merchandise is described in the submitted literature as bridge diodes. These appear to be standard bridge rectifiers consisting of four (4) diodes connected in a series.

The applicable subheading for the bridge diodes will be 8504.40.00, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "[rectifiers and rectifying apparatus]." The rate of duty will be 3 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
Area Director
