RE: The tariff classification of an Armdec ergoarm from Australia.

Dear Mr. Keady:

In your letter dated April 24, 1992, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The merchandise under consideration involves an Armdec ergoarm that is constructed of both plastic and metal. The device is basically a moveable monitor extension arm upon which a display unit maybe placed for more efficient and comfortable operation and utilization of desk space.

The predominant material of this monitor extension arm appears to be of plastic, since only the fastening devices (screws, clamps, and bolts) are constructed of metal. The device can be clamped to the edge of a desk, permanently mounted to the desktop, or attached to a wall with a special wall mount. The monitor platform acts as a base for the CRT monitor, and is located on the end of the extension arm. The device swivels which enables the user to adjust the monitor height, viewing distance and tilt with a light touch from a seated position.

The applicable subheading for the Armdec ergoarm will be 8473.30.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for parts and accessories of the machines of heading 8471 not incorporating a cathode ray tube. The rate of duty will be free.

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
Area Director
