RE: The tariff classification of window or wall type room air conditioners from Mexico, Brazil and Korea

Dear Mr. Steere:

In your letter dated March 12, 1996 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The Room Air Conditioners (RAC's) in question come in three types - cool only units, heat/cool units and heat pumps. All three types are window or wall type room air conditioners. Heat/cool units are electrically heated. Heat pumps are designed to efficiently take the heat from outside air and transport that into the room in the heat pump mode, with electric heat backup. Units come in a wide range of cooling capacities (Btu/Hr).
