RE: The tariff classification of an air ionizer from South Korea
Dear Ms. Nelson:
In your undated letter, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Amani Company.
The Greenfield King Ionizer Model CL-3200B is designed to
clean the air by clearing the air of unwanted pollutants such as
cigarette smoke, dust and exhaust fumes. A stream of negatively
charged ions is produced by the ionizer. These ions combined
with the air cause the pollutants to be precipitated out of the
air. The unit has an automobile cigarette plug and operates on a
power supply of DC 10V-30V. The ionizer features an air rotation
system that helps circulate the air through the unit by means of
an IC motor. A built-in double color indicator light monitors
ion output (i.e., green/low and red/high) and indicates when unit
is in operation. Unit also emits a fragrance when the cavity
located under the "producer's lid" is filled with perfume of
user's choice. The sample will be returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the Greenfield King Ionizer
Model CL-3200B will be 8421.39.8015, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for filtering or
purifying machinery and apparatus for gases: dust collection and
air purification equipment: other. The rate of duty will be 3.1
percent ad valorem.
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
