RE: The tariff classification of wok gas range burners from China
Dear Mr. Gatto:
In your letter dated September 15, 1998, on behalf of Sunny
Kitchens Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. You
submitted descriptive literature and a sample with your request.
The sample has been returned to your client.
There are four models of the "Sunny Burner" wok range gas
burner at issue: SB-16NG, SB-16LP, SB-24NG and SB-24LP. The model
16 series has a 9 inch diameter and is 5 inches high, while the 24
series has a 12 inch diameter and is 4 inches high. Each model has
a cast iron base with an array of copper gas jets arranged around
the base. Each model also has a cast iron shield to prevent the
gas jets from clogging from spills. These gas burners are intended
to replace current model gas burners in commercial wok gas ranges.
The applicable subheading for the "Sunny Burner" models of wok
range gas burners will be 8419.81.9040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for other machinery,
plant or equipment for cooking or heating food, of a type used in
restaurants, hotels and similar locations. The duty rate will be
0.8 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
Patrick J. Wholey at 212-466-5668.
