RE: The tariff classification of aluminum helium containers from France.
Dear Mr. Shields:
In your letter dated May 24, 1990 you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
Your descriptive literature indicates that you will be importing several
wide-neck, aluminum containers that will hold liquid helium. These
containers will be used for helium storage in laboratories and for road
transport of the gas.
The applicable subheading for the aluminum helium containers will be
7613.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for aluminum containers for compressed or liquefied gas. The rate
of duty will be 5 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
Area Director
