RE: The tariff classification of ovens and parts from Germany
Dear Ms. Goos:
In your letter dated December 14, 1994, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The gas and electric powered combination steam and
convection ovens come in eight models: Rational models CCC, CCD,
CCM and CM and Henny Penny brand models CSB, CSM, CSL and CSG -
all these models come in various sizes. They are used
exclusively in hospitals, cafeterias, hotels and restaurants.
The applicable subheading for the ovens will be
8419.81.5080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for machinery, plant or laboratory
equipment ... for the treatment of materials by a process
involving a change in temperature: other: other cooking stoves,
ranges and ovens. The rate of duty will be free.
You also inquired about the classification of unspecified
parts of the ovens mentioned above. Parts of machines are
governed by Note 2, Section XVI. If the parts you intend to
import are none of those mentioned in Note 1, Section XVI or Note
1, Chapter 84 and are not parts of machines classified in the
five headings mentioned in the note nor are goods themselves
included in any of the other headings of Chapters 84 and 85, they
are classifiable in accord with (b) of note 2, Section XVI.
Thus, if suitable for use solely or principally with commercial
ovens and not covered by any of the cited exclusions, parts are
classifiable under subheading 8419.90.8020, which provides for
other parts of machinery, plant or laboratory equipment ... for
the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of
temperature. The rate of duty will be 4.2 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
