RE: The tariff classification of a global heater from Japan.
Dear Mr. Gwin:
In your letter dated May 9, 1990 submitted on behalf of
Marubeni America Corporation you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The global heater is a heat exchanger with spiral rotary
heat tubes. It is used to heat and evaporate very viscous and
hard to handle fluids.
The applicable subheading for the global heater will be
8419.50.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other heat exchange units. The rate of
duty will be 4.2 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
