RE: The tariff classification of barometric and surface
condensers from Mexico.
Dear Mr. Galvin:
In your letter dated December 21, 1989 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
These barometric and surface condensers are used between
stages in a steam ejector line to reduce the load, and hence the
necessary utilities of the next downstream stage. The steam
ejector line is part of a vacuum pumping system.
The applicable subheading for the barometric and surface
condensers will be 8404.20.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for condensers for steam
or other vapor power units. The duty rate will be 7 percent ad
valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 8404.20.0000, HTS,
which are products of Mexico 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
