RE: The tariff classification of steel tubes from the United
Kingdom.
Dear Mr. Nieradka:
In your letter dated May 13, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The product to be imported is welded nonalloy steel tubing.
Representative samples of this tubing were submitted with your
ruling request. The tubing measures 1 1/2 inches in outside
diameter and has a wall thickness of less than 0.065 inch.
The applicable subheading for the welded nonalloy steel tubing
will be 7306.30.10, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other tubes, pipes and hollow profiles
(for example, open seamed or welded, riveted or similarly closed),
of iron or steel, other, welded, of circular cross section, of iron
or nonalloy steel, having a wall thickness of less than 1.65 mm.
The rate of duty will be 8 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
