Dear Mr. Leahy:

In your letter dated November 7, 1995 on behalf of ISO Tech Design Canada you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The overall dimensions (WxDxH) of the workstation are 89.54 x 31.48 x 85.0" and the weight of the unit is 300 pounds. The frame and hood are of epoxy coated steel. The walls are transparent flexible PVC while the flooring is white PVC. The unit has 4 glove ports for user access so that no gowning is required.

The applicable subheading for the Isophere-HR Contamination Control Workstation will be 8421.39.8015, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for filtering or purifying apparatus for gases: other. The rate of duty will be 3.1 percent.

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