In your letter dated December 20, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The products to be imported are hot-rolled flat-rolled alloy steel coils made to ASTM Specification A 588, the Standard Specification for High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel with 50 ksi (345 MPa) Minimum Yield Point to 4 in.

The applicable subheading for the coils which measure 4.75 mm or more in thickness will be 7225.30.3050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, other, not further worked than hot-rolled, in coils, of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more, other, other. The rate of duty will be 2.7 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the coils which measure less than 4.75 mm in thickness will be 7225.30.7000, HTS, which provides for flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, other, not further worked than hot-rolled, in coils, of a thickness of less than 4.75 mm, other. The rate of duty will be 6.6 percent ad valorem.
