RE: The tariff classification of a circuit from Japan.
Dear Mr. Della Ventura:
In your letter dated October 15, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
You describe the circuit, identified in your letter as part
number SBX 1610-51/913, as a circuit comprised of capacitors,
resistors, and other active components, mounted on an insulating
substrate made of plastic. You state that the circuit is made
using a thick film process and that the components cannot be
easily removed and replaced under normal manufacturing
conditions.
The applicable subheading for the circuit, part number SBX
1610-51/913 will be 8542.20.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for "Hybrid integrated
circuits," free of duty.
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
