RE: The tariff classification of metal frames from China.
Dear Mr. Canellakis:
In your letter dated August 16, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling. Your submitted sample will be returned to
you as requested.
The subject items are described as follows:
1) Part number R1068 - 6' x 8' metal frame
2) Part number R1066 - 6' x 6' metal frame
The parts are made from steel tubing that are bolted
together to form a protective frame called the Wilson Stur-D-
Screen. A plastic film is then attached inside the frame to shield
workers from welding equipment. The frame is used to support the
plastic film.
The applicable subheading for the steel frames will be
7326.90.8585, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of iron or steel, other.
The duty rate will be 4.6% ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this
merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the
ruling, contact National Import Specialist Melvyn Birnbaum at 212-
466-5487.
