RE: The tariff classification of a fan assembly from The Netherlands

Dear Mr. Laarhoven:

In your letter dated May 17, 1999 and received by this office on November 15, 1999 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Ventilatoren Sirocco Howden.

The item in question is described as a fan assembly consisting of a steel hub, a set of fasteners and a number of reinforced polyester fan blades. You indicate that in most cases the fan assembly will be shipped disassembled and assembled on site for use as a component of a heat exchanger system. Descriptive information was submitted.

The applicable subheading for the fan assembly, whether entered assembled or disassembled, will be 8414.90.1080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other parts of fans, including blowers, and ventilating or recycling hoods. The rate of duty will be 4.7 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 Kenneth T. Brock at 212-637-7026.

Sincerely,
