RE: The tariff classification of unpolished silicon wafers from
China
Dear Mr. Biegaj:
In your letter dated November 20, 1992, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The mrerchandise is identified in the submitted literature
as unpolished silicon wafers that measure approximately 3 to 6
inches in diameter with a resistivity of 1 to 70 ohm/cm. They are
either N or P doped.
The applicable subheading for the unpolished silicon wafers
will be 3818.00.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States, (HTS), which provides for "[Chemical elements doped for
use in electronics]," free of duty.
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
