RE: The tariff classification of current and voltage transducers from Switzerland
Dear Mr. Roybal:
In your letter dated July 24, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of
LEM U.S.A, Inc.
The merchandise is a variety of current and voltage transducers which, according to the

circuits in electric power applications.
The applicable subheading for the transducers will be 9030.39.0040, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other instruments and apparatus for
measuring or checking electrical quantities, for measuring or checking voltage, current, resistance
or power, without a recording device, other. The rate of duty will be 3.6 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 this 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 this
