RE: The tariff classification of metal mirrors from Russia
Dear Mr. Pogorelsky:
In your letter dated October 27, 1994 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The metal mirrors are designed for use in infrared laser and
laser beam transport systems. According to your letter, the metal
mirrors will be unframed and may be sold uncoated, or with silver,
gold or dielectric coatings.
The applicable subheading for the unframed metal mirrors will
be 9001.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for lenses, prisms, mirrors and other optical
elements, of any material, unmounted, other than such elements of
glass not optically worked. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad
valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 9001.90.6000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which are
products of Russia are entitled to duty free treatment under the
Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) 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
