RE: The tariff classification of components for a water filtration
system from China
Dear Mr. Liu:
In your letter dated August 9, 1993 you requested a tariff
classification ruling. You included descriptive literature and
samples with your request.
The components for the water filtration system consists of two
plastic canisters, one a counter top unit and the other for
mounting onto a steel frame, a plastic stand and a plastic "J"
spout for the counter top unit.
The carbon block filtration media will be made in the United States.
The applicable subheading for the water filtration components will be
8421.99.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other parts of machinery and apparatus for filtering or
purifying water. The rate of duty will be 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
