Dear Mr. Slagle:
In your letter dated July 30, 1993, on behalf of your client,

The item at hand is the type 5120 single spring retract
actuator. It is a pneumatically powered unit used to automatically
open and close various temperature, pressure or flow control
valves.
The applicable subheading for the type 5120 actuator will be
8412.31.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for pneumatic power engines and motors:
linear acting, other. The rate of duty will be 3.4 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.
