RE: The tariff classification of a sub-assembly from Mexico
Dear Ms Borgerding:
In your letter, dated June 11, 1998, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
You state, "The item consists of two wire leads..., one loaded circuit
board..., and one molded plastic housing... Our customer Badger Meter
incorporates our product into their high resolution transmitter which measures
the flow of water."
You have not presented in writing any information on how the item operates.
The catalog and other flyers you have sent indicate that they will be used
exclusively in water meters which record the accumulated usage of water. They
might be parts of flow meters, as indicated by your proposed classification,
but, even if so, the provision for parts of water meters is more specific.
The applicable subheading for this item will be 9028.90.0080, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for parts and
accessories of gas or liquid supply or production meters. The general rate of
duty will be 4.4 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs
Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National
Import Specialist James Sheridan at 212-466-5669.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
