RE: Mark-3 hand-operated pneumatic tool

Dear Ms. Shoran:

We have been asked to review New York Ruling Letter #844343 of August 18, 1989, and have determined that an error was made during the original classification of your hand-operated pneumatic tool. The proper classification for your merchandise under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUSA) is heading 8467.19.10. This subheading provides for other pneumatic tools for working in the hand, suitable for metal working.

The applicable rate of duty for subheading 8467.19.10, HTSUSA, is 4.5 percent ad valorem.

Sincerely,

John Durant, Director
Commercial Rulings Division
