RE: The tariff classification of an aerosol power unit from
Switzerland.
Dear Ms. Johnson:
In your letter dated August 11, 1993, and written on behalf of
your client, Siroflex, Inc. you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The aerosol power unit consists of a small canister with a plastic
lid. The canister will be filled with propane (35-40%) and butane (55-
60%). After importation the canister is to be assembled with a plastic
tube containing various sealants. All of the products that are being
combined with the power unit are of U.S. origin. The final product will be
a disposable caulking gun in which the imported gas filled canister will
act as the propellant.
The applicable subheading for the aerosol power unit will be
2711.19.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other liquified petroleum gases. The rate of duty will be
free.
Your inquiry also concerns the marking of the aerosol power unit.
Based on Customs Regulation 134.35 the aerosol power, which will be
combined by the importer with other items to make a finished product, will
be excepted from marking. However the outermost containers of the
imported product must be marked with the country of origin.
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
