classification ruling.
The subject article is an endless bandsaw blade designed for
use in a "Gryphon" diamond band saw. The saw blade is used for
cutting glass and other hard materials such as gemstone quality
jade, agate, etc. The bandsaw blade is made of nickel plated
copper and a diamond cutting edge.
The applicable subheading for the bandsaw blade will be
8202.20.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for bandsaw blades, and parts thereof...
other. The duty rate will be 3.1% 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 have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
