RE: The tariff classification of Extradeal from France.

Dear Mr. Callahan:

In your letter dated January 27, 1992, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your letter describes the Extradeal as a digital system whose architecture utilizes a distributing loop versus a star arrangement in oreer to bring to the position access to all the lines at the same point.

The applicable subheading for the * will be *, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "*." The rate of duty will be * percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
