RE: The tariff classification of touch screens and accessories from Canada.

Dear Mr.Bajorek:

In your letter dated May 13, 1992, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The merchandise under consideration involves various models of touch control screens that function as input and output devices for such applications as test systems, data collection systems, computer industrial control applications, and the stock exchanges. All of the models are directly or indirectly connected to a host computer. Some of the models, such as model 1050 contain color CRT's, while others such as the 1030 series, use monochrome CRT's. The accessories and components used with these units includes such items as keyboards, bar code wands, tilt/swivel bases, fans, cables, software disks, and manuals. The touch control screens and components are classifiable as follows:
