Dear Ms. Kutz:
In your letter dated August 25, 1998 you requested a tariff

literature, the parallel port cable, identified as model DS 1284
P/10, consists of an insulated electric cable with pin connectors
at each end. The rated voltage, as indicated on the sample, is
30 V. In operation, it is used as a bi-directional parallel
printer cable and connects computers to printers or other
peripheral devices.
The applicable subheading for the DS 1284 P/10 parallel port
cable will be 8544.41.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other electric
conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 80 V: Fitted with

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
