RE: The tariff classification of a geiger counter from Ukraine
Dear Mr. Reiner:
In your letter dated February 25, 1993, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The radiometer (geiger counter) "Pripyat" Model RKS-20.03 is
used to measure beta and gamma rays. Applications include the
measurement of radiation or the measurement of the strength of
sunlight. The digital unit is battery-powered for portable
operation. The radiometer has a sonic signal. The sample will
be retained by this office.
The applicable subheading for the radiometer (geiger
counter) "Pripyat" Model RKS-20.03 will be 9030.10.0000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for instruments and apparatus for measuring or detecting
ionizing radiations. The rate of duty will be 4.7 percent 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
