Dear Mr. Bloch:
In your letter dated August 2, 2006 on behalf of Allor Manufacturing, Inc. you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The steel rolls in question are used in machine tools known as flatteners and levelers. Use of these rollers allows for coils of steel to be flattened in a way that the material can be further processed and unrolled.

The rate of duty will be 3.7 percent ad valorem.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
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 Patricia O’Donnell at 646-733-3011.
