RE: The tariff classification of a Sphygmomanometer from Germany
Dear Ms. Schneider:
In your letter dated July 18, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Welch Allyn, Inc., Skaneateles,
NY.
The article to be imported is an aneroid sphygmomanometer without a
cuff. It consists of a manometer and inflation bulb integrally connected
to form one unit. The instrument features a trigger deflation valve and a
Luer Lock adapter for quick interchanging of various size cuffs.
The applicable subheading for the sphygmomanometer will be 9018.90.5040,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
sphygmomanometers, tensimeters and oscillometers; all the foregoing and
parts and accessories thereof.. The rate of duty will be 2.7 percent.
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
Area Director
New York Seaport
