RE: The tariff classification of an electronic flowmeter from
Canada
Dear Mr. Topp:
In your letter dated May 26, 1993 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The item at issue is the Magnum model electronic flow meter. The unit
utilizes electromagnetic fields to measure and calculate the flow rate of liquids
through a tube. This is a contactless form of measurement and allows the system
to be used in a wide range of applications, ranging from clear liquids to raw
sewage.
The applicable subheading for the electromagnetic flowmeter will be
9026.10.2040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking the flow of
liquids by electrical means. The duty rate will be 4.9 percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 9026.10.2040, HTS, which have
originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a free rate of duty
under the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement (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
