RE: The tariff classification of stepping motors from Japan.
Dear Mr. Heck:
In your letter dated September 21, 1989, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The stepping motor, identified in your letter as ES-FOAF-
17C279-AA, is described as a .492W, 41mA, 12VDC, brushless motor.
The applicable subheading for the stepping motors, ES-FOAF-
17C279-AA, will be 8501.10.4040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for "[e]lectric motors,
[o]f under 18.65W, [o]ther, DC: [b]rushless." The rate of duty
will be 6.6 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
