Dear Mr. Schultz:
In your letter dated February 9, 2005, you requested a tariff classification ruling for Braze Skin PN 200 and TN 500 which you have stated are brazing alloy pastes used in the fabrication of radiators. The products are composed of a nickel alloy powder suspended in a solvent based organic binder system.

The rate of duty will be 5 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Andrew Stone at 646-733-3032.
