Dear Ms. Van Antwerp:
In your letter dated March 7, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Your letter describes the merchandise as follows:
1. The transistor drives, identified in the submitted literature

the servo motor.
2. The servo motors, identified in the literature as model ROT6-
2,6/7.2 Nm, are described as DC motors with a maximum output
of 2,000 to 10,000 Watts.
The applicable HTS subheading for the transistor drives will
be 8537.10.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
(HTS) which provides for "[m]otor control centers." The rate of
duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the servo motors will be

and are the products of Italy, and certified for use in civil

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
