The applicable subheading for the MP-15, MP-30 and MP-45 will

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section

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
