RE: The tariff classification of an electronic pressure sensor
from France
Dear Ms. Klucas:
In your letter dated May 4, 1993 you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The item at issue is an electronic pressure sensor assembly (part number
S283U006-7) which forms part of the Tire Pressure Indicating System (T.P.I.S.)
of an aircraft. The sensor, which detects the pressure of the tire, is supplied
with a stabilized voltage of 10 VDC. This voltage is transformed into a
differential voltage, proportional to the tire pressure, and is re-transmitted
to the wheel interface unit.
The applicable subheading for the electronic pressure sensor will be
9026.20.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking pressure;
electrical. The rate of duty will be 4.9 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 9026.20.4000, HTS, and are the
products of France, and 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
