RE: The tariff classification of steel ribbed profile sheeting
from Mexico.
Dear Mr. Bowen:
In your letter dated March 24, 1993 on behalf of Duferco Ltd.
(U.S.A.) you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The product to be imported is carbon steel ribbed profile
sheeting which has been galvanized and, in some cases, galvanized
and painted. The ribbed sheeting will be imported in widths
ranging from 24 inches to 44 inches and in lengths ranging from 2
feet to 40 feet. The ribbed profile sheeting will be used in
roofing and siding applications.
The applicable subheading for the coated and ribbed steel
profile sheeting will be 7216.90.00, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for angles, shapes and
sections of iron or nonalloy steel, other. The rate of duty will
be 4.4 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section

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.
