RE: The tariff classification of LET Power Supply Unit and a RST Power Supply Unit from China

Dear Mr. Anderson:

In your letter dated June 12, 1997, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Advanced Fibre Communications Inc. of Petaluma, California.

The merchandise is described in your letter as a LET Power Supply Unit (L-PSU) and a RST Power Supply Unit (R-PSU).

These power supplies function as DC to DC converters. They convert the DC input voltages(-42V to -63V DC) to the voltages required by the common equipment and line cards (L-PSU:+5.15V, -5.15V and 32V DC);(R-PSU:+5.15V,-5.15V,-52V,-32V).

The applicable subheading for the LET Power Supply Unit and the RST Power Supply Unit will be 8504.40.8500,Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "[s]tatic converters: [f]or telecommunications apparatus." The rate of duty will be free.
