RE: The tariff classification of tank heads from Russia.
Dear Dr. Harper:
In your letter dated May 8, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The subject items are tank heads. They are described as
domed shaped pieces that are welded onto the ends of tanks or
pressure vessels. They vary in size, shape and material. In this
instance, the tank heads will be made from carbon steel or
stainless steel plate. Also, the fabrication method will consist
of pressing a flat piece of plate into the desired finished shape.
The applicable subheading for the tank heads will be
7326.90.8590, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of iron or steel, other.
The duty rate will be 5.1% ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 7326.90.8590, HTS,
which are
products of Russia, are entitled to duty free treatment under the
Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance with all
applicable regulations.
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
