RE: The tariff classification of power amplifiers from Japan.
Dear Mr. Springman:
In your letter dated September 25, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of the Orion Satellite Corporation.
Your letter states that the items to be imported are solid state power
amplifiers. These devices are used for power amplification of received radio
frequency (RF) signals and are designed for 15 watt power output at Ku-band
frequency.
The applicable subheading for the power amplifiers will be 8529.90.9900,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for parts
suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 8525 to
8528: other: other: other. The rate of duty will be 4.7 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 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 Mario Dicerbo at 212-466-5672.
Sincerely,
Roger J. Silvestri
