RE: The tariff classification of door systems from Canada.
Dear Ms. Sugar:
In your letter dated January 19, 1993, on behalf of M & I
Door Systems Limited, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The door systems are electrically operated roll-up doors
used in warehouses and other establishments where vehicles have
access. The roll-up doors are available in different materials.
Four samples of these materials were submitted. The "Transilon E
8/2 V5/V5" and the "Blue Hyteck" are composed of textile fabrics
coated on both sides with a visible plastics material. Both of
these styles are composed of a material considered a plastics
material for tariff purposes. The "Transilon E 12/2 UO/UO" is a
stiff fabric consisting of polyester warp and weft threads. Two
samples of the Transilon E 12/2 UO/UO were submitted. The sample
that is coated with urethane on both sides is considered a
plastics material. The sample that is not coated with urethane
on both sides is considered a textile material.
The applicable subheading for the door systems with plastic
roll-up doors will be 3925.20.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for builders' ware of
plastics, not elsewhere specified or included, doors, windows and
their frames and thresholds for doors. The rate of duty will be
5.3 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the door systems with textile
roll-up doors will be 6307.90.9986, HTS, which provides for other
made up textile articles, other. The rate of duty will be 7
percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 3925.20.0000, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
2.6 percent ad valorem rate of duty under the United States-
Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all
applicable regulations.
Goods classifiable under subheading 6307.90.9986, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to
3.5 percent ad valorem rate of duty under FTA upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
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
