RE: The tariff classification of snowblowing machinery from
Austria.
Dear Mr. Wolper:
In your letter dated April 5, 1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling. You included descriptive literature with
your request.
There are 3 models of snowblowers involved in this request,
all designated with the prefix RL: the 800/2600, the 1000/2800
and the 1110/3000. The dual numbers represent the cutting
heights and widths, in millimeters, of the various
cutter/blowers. All 3 models are powered by an engine mounted to
the rear of the blower section of the machine and are attached to
the arms of a loader, which acts as the carrier. The snowblowers
are manufactured by Toni Kahlbacher, GmbH. & Co. KG, of Austria.
The applicable subheading for the Kahlbacher RL series
snowblowers will be 8430.20.0030, HTS, which provides for
attachment type snowblowers. The rate of duty will be 2 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
