RE: The tariff classification of roll slitting machines from Great Britain

Dear Ms. Steger:

In your letter dated February 26, 1996 on behalf of Converting Machinery Associates you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Models ALS 450/LD and ALS 250/LD are machines used to automatically slit large rolls of material into narrower widths without unwinding. These machines incorporate a roll locking mechanism, a digital control panel and display, variable speed cutting blades, and programmable cutting blade sharpening and lubrication systems. Model ALS 450/LD slits rolls up to 2000 millimeters in length and 500 millimeters in diameter, while Model ALS 250/LD slits rolls up to 1800 millimeters wide and 250 millimeters in diameter. Both machines are used in a variety of industries to slit plastics, non-wovens, cloth, foams, foils, rubber, paper, glass fiber, and laminated and coated materials.

The applicable subheading for the ALS 450/LD and ALS 250/LD roll slitting machines will be 8479.89.9598, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere...: other machines and mechanical appliances: other: other: other: other. The rate of duty will be 3.2 percent ad valorem.

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

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Alan Horowitz at 212-466-5494.

Sincerely,

Roger J. Silvestri
