RE: The tariff classification of propane tanks from Brazil.
Dear Mr. Reiser:
In your letter dated April 10, 1990 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The first item is an unassembled carbon steel propane tank.
The component parts consist of a hollow cylinder form and two
cylinder heads. After importation the cylinder seam and the top
and bottom heads will be welded to form a propane tank. The
second item is a substantially complete carbon steel tank which
after importation will have a valve installed.
The applicable subheading for the tanks will be
7311.00.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for containers for compressed or liquefied
gas, of steel. The duty rate will be 5 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 7311.00.0090, HTS,
which are products of Brazil are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
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
