RE: Classification of QLII (Sealer/ Coater) from France.
Dear Mr. Ryan:
In your letter dated November 11, 1992, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The prospective import, QLII is used in the automobile
industry to reseal overlap joints in such places as the trunk,
engine compartment or floor panels (caulking). It may also be
used as a coating to restore the stonechip coating finish on the
fenders, quarter panels, etc. Importer advises principle use is
for caulking purpose.
The applicable subheading for the QLII will be 3214.10.0010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for mastics, caulking compounds. The duty rate will be
3.7 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
