RE: The tariff classification of dehumidifiers from Taiwan

Dear Mr. Spatarella:

In your letter dated August 6, 1998, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The merchandise is portable room dehumidifiers. The dehumidifiers contain a fan, but do not have provision for directly affecting the temperature of the room.
