RE: The tariff classification of a glass working machine tool
wheel from Italy.
Dear Mr. Ciofalo:
In your letter dated July 1, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling, on behalf of your client, A.G.M. Glass
Machinery Inc., Linden, NJ. Your submitted sample will be
returned to you as requested.
The subject article is a tool in the shape of a wheel and
is used with glass working machines. It is known as "Bibliz".
The wheel functions as an interchangeable grinding tool while
performing a bevelling operation on glass. The entire wheel is
made of 80% aluminum alloy and a 19% copper ridge. In addition,
there is a 1% outer working surface made of industrial diamonds
that perform the actual grinding function. A resinoid material
is used as a bonding agent. These interchangeable grinding
wheels are available in various sizes for a number of well known
glass working machines.
The applicable subheading for the "Bibliz" will be
8207.90.7500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for interchangeable tools for handtools,
whether or not power-operated, or for machine tools: other
interchangeable tools, and parts thereof: other: not suitable for
cutting metal, and parts thereof... other. The duty rate will be
3.7% 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
