RE: The tariff classification of sliding door tracks from Australia

Dear Mr. Spork:

In your letter of no date, received November 24, 1997, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The merchandise is several hardware items used to mount and operate interior and exterior, sliding and folding, shutters and doors. Most of the items consist of steel or aluminum, with or without minor parts of rubber or nylon. However, you also have brass floor channels and 100% nylon fittings and guides. The other parts are plated steel door hinges, aluminum or steel floor channels and tracks, and steel carriers, guides and fittings.

The applicable subheading for the hinges will be 8302.10.6030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles, suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery, trunks, chests, caskets or the like, hinges, of iron or steel, of aluminum or of zinc, other, suitable for interior or exterior doors (except garage, overhead or sliding doors). The rate of duty will be 4.4 percent ad valorem. The rate of duty, effective January 1, 1998, will be 3.9 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the aluminum and steel floor channels and tracks, guides and fittings will be 8302.41.6080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery, trunks, chests, caskets or the like, suitable for buildings, other, of iron or steel, of aluminum or of zinc, other. The rate of duty will be 4.6 percent ad valorem. The rate of duty, effective January 1, 1998, will be 4.3 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the brass floor channel will be 8302.41.9080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles, suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery, trunks, chests, caskets or the like, suitable for buildings, other, other, other. The rate of duty will be 4.1 percent ad valorem. The rate of duty, effective January 1, 1998, will be 3.8 percent ad valorem

Your ruling does not provide enough information for us to give a classification ruling on the nylon guides and fittings. They cannot be classified under a tariff heading which includes only base metal products. Your request for a classification ruling should include a picture or sample.

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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist James Smyth at 212-466-2084.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director
