RE: The tariff classification of oriented film production
systems from France.
Dear Mr. Liptak:
In your letter dated September 5, 1991 on behalf of Cellier
S.A. you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your
September letter followed another request, 865907 dated August 5,
1991, which we returned for further information.
These systems for producing oriented film encompass all
components from extruder through caster-quencher, longitudinal
and transverse stretchers, transporter to carry stretched film to
winder, and winder, as well as digital control system and waste
recycler. You indicate that each delivery will consist of one
complete system.
The applicable subheading for the oriented film production
systems will be 8477.59.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other machinery for
molding or otherwise forming rubber or plastics. The rate of
duty will be 3.9 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
