RE: The tariff classification of a thermometer from Canada

Dear Mr. Oakley:

In your letter dated February 14, 1990 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The item is a heat-sensitive plastic strip thermometer with an adhesive backing to adhere to a plastic fermenter. The thermometer will indicate fermentation liquid temperature.

The applicable subheading for the thermometer will be 9025.19.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for thermometers, not combined with other instruments: other. The duty rate will be 5 percent ad valorem.

Goods classifiable under subheading 9025.19.0000, HTS, which have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a 4 percent ad valorem rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable regulations.

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
