RE: The tariff classification of a multple axis gate cut robot
from Japan.
Dear Ms. Korman:
In your letter dated December 6, 1990 on behalf of K.K. Hama
Seisakusho you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The multiple axis gate cut robot is used in conjunction with
plastic injection molding machines. It is designed to cut the
gates and remove burrs from plastic molded parts as they exit the
molding machine.
The applicable subheading for the multiple axis gate cut
robot will be 8477.80.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other machinery for
working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products
from these materials. The rate of duty is 3.9 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
