RE: The tariff classification of a gear measuring system from Belgium.

Dear Ms. Schneider:

In your letter dated February 15, 1996, on behalf of The Gleason Works, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for the gear measuring system will be 9031.49.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Other optical instruments and appliances: Coordinate-measuring machines. The rate of duty will be 7.4 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 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 Barbara Kiefer at 212-466-5685.

Sincerely,
