within a fixed area, 30 feet in an 89 degree arc, and a siren will
be activated for a 2.5 minute duration..
The applicable subheading for the the CM-102 alarm will be

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
