RE: The tariff classification of continuous caster from France
Dear Ms. Cattani:
In your letter dated April 23, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The continuous bar caster is a device that can receive up to
8 tons per
hour of molten aluminum from hot metal furnaces. Through
controlled speeds and cooling rates, the unit forms and cools the
cast material to a solid shape of known cross section and
metallurgical properties. The entire caster will be shipped as
one shipment.
The applicable subheading for the the continuous caster will
be 8454.30.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for convertors, ladles, ingot molds and
casting machines, of a kind used in metallurgy or in metal
foundries, and parts thereof: Casting Machines...Other. 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
