RE: The tariff classification of a venetian blind making machine
from Poland.
Dear Mr. Skrzypek:
In your letter dated May 19, 1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You describe the Magnum 400/4 as a machine for the forming,
punching and cutting to length of venetian blind slats. The
literature indicates that louver strip is unrolled from its
roller unit by a set of moulding and pulling rolls. After
moulding (forming), the strip proceeds through a set of punching
dies which punch holes and cut the strip to the desired length.
The applicable subheading for the Magnum 400/4 will be
8462.49.0050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for punching or notching machines,
including combined punching and shearing machines. The duty rate
will be 4.4 percent.
Articles classifiable under subheading 8462.49.0050, HTS,
which are products of Poland are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
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
