RE: The tariff classification of Ultrasound Scanners from Holland
Dear Ms. DuMond:
In your letter dated July 15, 1996 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The articles to be imported are three ultrasound scanners, models 100,
200 and 480, used in veterinary medicine. They have a wide range of
diagnostic applications and are used on various animals.
The applicable subheading for the Ultrasound Scanners will be
9018.12.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for instruments and appliances used in medical, surgical, dental
or veterinary sciences... electro-diagnostic apparatus... ultrasonic
scanning apparatus. The duty rate will be 2.5 percent.
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.
If you have any questions pertaining to this matter, please contact
National Import Specialist Jacques Preston of this office at (212) 466-
