RE: The tariff classification of network products from the
United States
Dear Ms Hamada:
In your letter dated January 24, 1989 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Your letter states that Vitalink exports network products,
identified as the TransLan III, models 320 and 350; TransRing,
model 550; and TranSDLC, to Europe, Austrailia, New Zealand, and
other countries. You request the HTS number you should use when
the merchandise is returned to you for repair.
Products of the United States when returned after having
been exported, without having been advanced in value or improved
in condition by any process of manufacture or other means while
abroad should be entered under HTS number 9801.00.1035, free of
duty.
We suggest that you consult the Customs office at the port
where you will enter the merchandise concerning the requirements
for entry under HTS number 9801.00.1035.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
New York Seaport
