RE: The tariff classification of a pressure gauge and a
thermomanometer from Poland.
Dear Mr. Yamin:
In your letter dated March 19, 1993 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The items involved in this ruling request consist of a
mechanical pressure gauge and a mechanical thermomanometer
(combination pressure/temperature gauge). Both gauges are used
primarily on boilers and air compressors. The thermomanometer is
a single gauge with dual indicators and a face plate with both
pressure (psi) and temperature (Fahrenheit) calibrations. You
stated in your letter that both functions are co-equal.
The applicable subheading for both the pressure gauge and the
thermomanometer will be 9026.20.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for instruments and
apparatus for measuring or checking pressure of liquids or gases,
non-electrical. The duty rate will be 4.7 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 9026.20.8000, HTS,
which are products of Poland are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) 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
