RE: The tariff classification of optical elements called Total
Reflectors from Singapore
Dear Ms. Muckian:
In your letter dated April 6, l990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The optical elements are used in industrial CO2 lasers. The
typical applications for the lasers are welding and cutting. The
optical elements are made of silicon and are called Total
Reflectors. The Total Reflectors are mirrors designed for
maximum reflectivity of the CO2 laser beam. The stock numbers of
the Total Reflectors are 850800, 297995, 618042, and 350189.
The applicable subheading for the Total Reflectors will be
9001.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for lenses, prisms, mirrors and other
optical elements, of any material, unmounted; other, mirrors.
The rate of duty will be 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
