RE: The tariff classification of LanJack Modules from China
Dear Ms. Leggatt:
In your letter dated August 18, 1998, on behalf of Innet
Technologies, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
As indicated by the submitted samples and information
provided, the LanJack Module is an electrical connector which is
used in conjunction with a computer motherboard.
The applicable subheading for the LanJack Modules will be
8536.69.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other plugs and sockets. The rate of
duty will be 3.2 percent ad valorem. Although you have suggested
classification under subheading 8473.30.5000, HTS, as parts and
accessories of the machines of heading 8471, this item is more
properly classifiable in the eo nomine provision for plugs and
sockets.
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 David
Curran at 212-466-5680.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
