RE: The tariff classification of filters and a centrifuge from
Germany.
Dear Ms. Koester:
In your letter dated June 25, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You plan to import the following items, all used to remove
fine metal and abrasive chip from coolants employed with metal
grinding machines: items 70.1 and 70.2, magnetic swarf separators
of different capacities, which magnetically separate the chips;
item 70.3, universal filter with automatically fed paper cloth;
item 70.6, a hydro-cyclone type filter; item 70.6, a paper
filter, consisting of a metal cylinder filled with 23 paper
filter discs held in place by a metal spindle and cap, used with
items 70.1, 70.2 and 70.6 for extremely fine filtration; item
72.1, a coolant centrifuge "Turbo" separator.
The applicable subheading for item 72.1 will be
8421.19.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other centrifuges. The rate of duty
will be 3.9 percent ad valorem. The applicable subheading for
all the other items will be 8421.29.0060, HTS, which provides for
filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for other
liquids. The rate of duty will be 3.9 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
