RE: The tariff classification of plate mill table drives from Slovakia

Dear Mr. Zupito:

In your letter dated February 20, 2007 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client Jayson Industries.

The articles in question are described as plate mill table drives. The table drives are subassemblies used in the assembly of gear boxes for driving rolling beds in steel mill machines. A technical drawing was submitted.

The applicable subheading for the table drives will be 8483.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for parts of gearing, gear boxes and other speed changers. The rate of duty will be 2.5 percent ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

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 Kenneth T. Brock at 646-733-3009.
