RE: The tariff classification of boiler plant stokers and grates
from West Germany.
Dear Mr. Asta:
In your letter dated July 3, 1990 on behalf of Zurn Industries
Inc. you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Zurn plans to import mechanical grates and a mechanical
stoker to feed used tires to a boiler plant they are
constructing. The steam from the boiler plant will be used for
the generation of electricity. The remainder of the plant will
be domestically sourced.
The applicable subheading for the grates and stoker will be
8416.30.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for mechanical stokers, mechanical grates,
mechanical ash dischargers and similar appliances. The rate of
duty will be 3.4 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
