RE: The tariff classification of steel bars from Italy.
Dear Ms. Pompole:
In your letter dated July 14, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The products to be imported are cold finished chromium plated
steel bars. The bars designated C43 UNI 7847 and C53 UNI 7847 are
of nonalloy steel and the bars designated 20MNV6 W.N. 1.52.17 and
42CRM04 UNI 7845 are of alloy steel. The bars range from 8 mm to
140 mm in diameter.
The applicable subheading for the nonalloy steel cold finished
chromium plated bars will be 7215.90.30, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for other bars and rods
of iron or nonalloy steel, other, plated or coated with metal,
cold-formed. The rate of duty will be 7.5 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the alloy steel cold finished
chromium plated bars will be 7228.60.80, HTS, which provides for
other bars and rods of other alloy steel, other bars and rods,
other, cold-formed. The rate of duty will be 7.5 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.
You also ask whether there are any quotas on this product. At
this time there are no quantitative restrictions on this product,
nor are there any antidumping or countervailing duty
investigations.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
