RE: The tariff classification of Convertray Wafers, Ultraviolet
Activator for Polymerization and Plastic Teeth (Dens
Nobilis) from Germany
Dear Ms. Witkowski:
In your letter dated November 20, 1991 you requested a
tariff classification ruling on behalf of Wilde-U.S.A., Inc.
The Ultraviolet Activator is a device consisting basically
of ultraviolet lamps used in dental laboratories for light curing
crown and bridge veneering material and other light activated
dental resins. The plastic teeth will be used in the manufacture
of dentures.
The applicable subheading for the Ultraviolet Activator will
be 9018.20.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for ultraviolet or infrared ray apparatus.
The duty rate will be 4.2 percent.
The applicable subheading for the plastic teeth (Dens
Nobilis) will be 9021.21.4000, HTS, which provides for artificial
teeth... of plastics. The duty rate will be 5 percent.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to
give a classification ruling on the Convertray Wafers. Your
request for a classification ruling should include the identity
and percentage by weight of each ingredient including each
acrylate.
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
