RE: The tariff classification of a surge protector from China

Dear Ms. Aldinger:

In your letter dated August 25, 1997, which was received by U.S. Customs in New York on September 8, 1997, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The subject article is a 6-outlet surge protector with a 33 inch heavy-duty line cord. It has all outlets grounded and polarized for safety, is surge protected, 1449 UL listed, has concealed 4-way mounting holes, a power light, and a safety overload circuit breaker which shuts off automatically. It is designated as your item number 972924.

The applicable subheading for the surge protector will be 8536.30.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for apparatus for protecting electrical circuits, other than motor overload protectors, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 V. The rate of duty will be 3.7 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.

Sincerely,

Ian C. Sang
Port Director
