RE: The tariff classification of BMV-51 from Japan.
Dear Mr. Spraitzer:
In your letter dated March 10, 1994, on behalf of your client
SIGRI, you requested a tariff classification ruling for BMV-51
which you have stated is a compound to make adequate contact
between the collector bar and the cathode block in an electrical
furnace.
The applicable subheading for BMV-51 will be 3823.90.5050,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for prepared binders for foundry molds or cores; chemical
products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries
(including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not
elsewhere specified or included; residual products of the chemical
or allied industries, not elsewhere specified or included: other.
The rate of duty will be 5 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
