RE: The tariff classification of chairs from Japan.
Dear Ms Ehme:
In your letter dated December 9, 1993, on behalf of The R.H.
Burton Co., Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The chairs consist of five models designed to meet the needs
of ophthalmic professionals. The patient chairs include models
RHB2201 and 2202, RHB3002, RHB4200 and BUR101. The five chairs all
have rotating as well as reclining and elevating movements,
adjustable headrests, armrest pivots and footrests.
The applicable subheading for the ophthalmic chairs will be
9402.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
HTSUSA, which provides for dentists', barbers' or similar chairs
and parts thereof. The rate of duty will be 3.9 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
