RE: The tariff classification of steel slagpots from The People's Republic
Of China.
Dear Mr. Banyots:
In your letter dated July 17,1990, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
Your descriptive literature indicates that you will be importing steel
slagpots used in steel mills to hold and transport slag.
The applicable subheading for the steel slagpots will be 7309.00.0090,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
reservoirs, tanks, and vats. The rate of duty will be 2.6 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
