RE: The tariff classification of Photographic Plates from the
United Kingdom
Dear Ms. Rodriquez:
In your letter dated October 30, 1990, on behalf of your
client, Howson-Algraphy Inc., you requested a tariff
classification ruling on the following photographic plates:
1. The Super Amazon Positive Plate
2. The AQ3 Aqueous Plate
3. The Howson M.R. Negative Plate
4. The Super Marathon Negative Plate
These are light sensitive, unexposed, aluminum based
photographic plates.
The applicable subheading for the above photographic plates
will be 3701.30.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for photographic plates and film in
the flat, sensitized, unexposed of any material other than paper,
paperboard or textiles, other plates and film, with any side
exceeding 255 mm. The rate of duty will be 3.7 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
