RE: The tariff classification of cast iron pipe fittings from
China.
Dear Mr. Heiss:
In your letter dated August 14, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The product to be imported is a cast iron tank tee, a pipe
fitting which has been threaded and galvanized. This tank tee is
made to ASTM Spec A 48, the Standard Specification for Gray Iron
Castings.
The applicable subheading for the cast iron tee will be
7307.11.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for tube or pipe fittings (for example,
couplings, elbows, sleeves), of iron or steel, cast fittings, of
nonmalleable cast iron, for threaded pipe. 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
