RE: The tariff classification of a haul-off machine from Canada.
Dear Mr. Hedmann:
In your letter dated April 12, 1990 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The 2-Roll Haul-Off Model MPR-4 supplies the pull required
to process a plastic shape that is being extruded. It has two
rubber covered rollers/wheels running in unison, which are
brought together to grasp the shape and provide a constant
pulling force. This constant pulling force stabilizes the shape,
thereby maintaining constant dimensions.
The applicable subheading for the 2-Roll Haul-Off Model MPR-
4 will be 8477.51.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other machinery for molding or
otherwise forming rubber or plastics. The rate of duty will be
3.9 percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 8477.51.0090, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
2.3 percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) 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
