Dear Ms. Vinson:
In your letter dated June 17, 1998, on behalf of Nesper International,
Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
As indicated by the submitted samples and information, the metal stampings
consist of components used in the manufacture of various electrical apparatus
such as relays, connectors, and switches. The stampings are of different shapes

contact rivets which are the components in electrical contacts that conduct the
current.
The applicable subheading for the metal stampings and contact rivets will
be 8538.90.8080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other parts suitable for use solely or principally with the
apparatus of heading 8535, 8536, or 8537. The rate of duty will be 3.9 percent
ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs

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
