RE: The tariff classification of syringes from Thailand
Dear Mr. Thompson:
In your letter dated October 21, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The articles to be imported are disposable hypodermic
syringes with and without needles used in medical practice.
The applicable subheading for the syringes with and without
needles will be 9018.31.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for instruments and
appliances used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary
sciences...syringes, with or without needles. The duty rate will
be 8.4 percent.
Articles classifiable under subheading 9018.31.0040, HTS,
which are products of Thailand are entitled to duty free
treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon
compliance with all applicable regulations.
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
