RE: The tariff classification of beveled plate from West
Germany.
Dear Mr. Sarbo:
In your letter dated October 2, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The product to be imported is beveled plate. This plate, of
carbon steel, will be hot rolled and manufactured in widths of
24" and over. Subsequent to the rolling process, the bevels are
cut using an edge milling machine.
The applicable subheading for the beveled plate will be
7208.90.00, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for flat-rolled products of iron or
nonalloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, not
clad, plated or coated, other. The rate of duty will be 5
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
Area Director
