RE: The tariff classification of parts for conveyor belting from
Italy.
Dear Ms. Zimmer:
In your letter dated December 20, 1994, on behalf of Regina-
Emerson, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The parts include sections of belting, made of acetal resin,
in various sizes, with and without friction pads, roller chain
with thermoplastic flights, stainless steel connector pins on
which the sections pivot, and toothed idler sprockets (referred
to as idler wheels in your literature) made of polyamide resin or
reinforced resin.
The applicable subheading for the sections of belting, made
of plastics, will be 3926.90.9890, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for other articles of
plastics, other. The rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad
valorem.
The applicable subheading for the idler sprockets will be
8483.90.1050, HTS, which provides for chain sprockets, other.
The rate of duty will be 5.1 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the stainless steel pivot pins
will be 7326.90.8590, HTS, which provides for other articles of
iron or steel, other. The rate of duty will be 5.1 percent ad
valorem.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to
give a classification ruling on stainless steel chain with
plastic flights. Please contact National Import Specialist Paula
Ilardi at (212) 466-5476 before resubmitting your request on this
product.
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
