RE: The tariff classification of a watering device from Canada
Dear Mr. Kuntz:
In your letter dated November 20, 1990 you requested a
tariff classification ruling. You have submitted descriptive
literature.
The Bluebird Water Fountain is a device used on farms to
water approximately 100 broilers or breeders (poultry). The
fountain is constructed of durable polypropylene plastic, and
each is supplied with all the necessary water connections plus
sufficient lengths of flexible hose and non-stretch hanging cord.
The device operates on 20 to 40 pounds of water pressure. The
diameter at the base measures 14 inches. Components of the
water fountain include the float, water level adjusting collar,
flexible hose, non-stretch cord, and the noncorrosive shutoff
valve assembly.
The applicable subheading for the Bluebird Water Fountain
will be 8436.80.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other agricultural,
horticultural... machinery, barn and barnyard machines. The rate
of duty will be free.
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
