RE: The tariff classification of an oxygen sensor (photodiode)
from Mexico.
Dear Mr. Larson:
In your letter dated April 3, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Optoswitch, Inc., McKinley,
Texas.
Your letter describes the sensor, identified in the
submitted literature as CTR 5186A, as a mounted silicon
photodiode.
The applicable subheading for the oxygen sensor will be
8541.40.6050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for "[p]hotosensitve semiconductor
devices...: [o]ther diodes, [o]ther, [o]ther," free of duty.
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
