Dear Mr. Ohlmann:
In your letter dated March 31, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
As indicated by the submitted information, the four models
of signal generators are identified as SME03, SMIQ02, SMIQ03, and
R3561L. Each model produces an analog or digital signal which is
used in testing to verify the accuracy of receiver devices.
The applicable subheading for the SME03, SMIQ02, SMIQ03 and
R3561L signal generators will be 8543.20.0000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for signal
generators. The rate of duty will be 2.9 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist David
