RE: The tariff classification of alumina substrates from
Germany and the United Kingdom
Dear Ms. Necci:
In your letter dated March 18, 1994, you requested a tariff
classification ruling, on behalf of Hoechst CeramTec, Mansfield,
MA.
The alumina substrates are described in the descriptive
literature as a common part of a microelectric subassembly. The
alumina substrates appear to be principally used in the
production of thick and thin film microcircuits.
The applicable subheading for the alumina substrates will
be 8542.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for "[parts of integrated circuits and
microcircuits]," free of duty.
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
