RE: The tariff classification of unit heaters, door heaters and
coils from Canada
Dear Mr. Barbeau:
In your letter dated March 16, 1993, on behalf of Armstrong
Hunt, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is unit heaters and door heaters, and the
coils designed to be used with them. They are used in industrial
buildings to heat the entire building or the area around entrance
ways. The heaters consist of a heavy duty enclosure containing
finned tubing, a grille and a fan. They are designed to be
connected to a source of heat, either steam or liquid, by piping.
Door heaters are identical to unit heaters, except for a high-
velocity nozzle which directs the air flow to heat the door area
precisely.
The applicable subheading for the heaters will be
7322.90.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for air heaters and hot air
distributors...not electrically heated, incorporating a motor
driven fan or blower. The rate of duty will be 4.2 percent ad
valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 7322.90.0030, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
2.1 percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to
give a classification ruling on the coils. Your request for a
classification ruling should include, in addition to
grade/chemistry, construction (ERW, seamless) and wall thickness.
Also provide outside diameter dimensions. Finned or gilled tubes
of iron or steel are classifiable under the appropriate
subheadings for tubes and pipes of iron and steel in Chapter 73,
HTS. Please submit a separate ruling request for these tubes,
limiting each ruling to 5 types of tubes.
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
