RE: The tariff classification of control cabinets from Germany
Dear Mr. Galestro:
In your letter dated May 8, 1995, on behalf of Walker
Manufacturing, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Your request covers eight (8) control cabinets which provide
electrical power and direction to various machinery such as
hydroforming presses, mechanical saw assemblies and an annealing
furnace. Each of these cabinets contains a programmable logic
controller (PLC), and various other electrical apparatus, such as
motor controllers, AC inverters, and DC power convertors.
The applicable subheading for the control cabinets will be
8537.10.9070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other boards, panels, ... cabinets and
other bases, equipped with two or more apparatus of heading 8535
or 8536, for electric control or the distribution of
electricity.... The rate of duty will be 4.8 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
