Dear Ms. Trout:

In your letter dated February 5, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Para Systems, Inc. of Carrollton, Texas.

The merchandise is described in your letter as uninterruptible power supply systems. One model in the XRT Series is identified as Model XRT 2002 has a capacity of 2000 VA and 2000 W. The model can be used with both automatic data processing machines and telephone equipment. Based upon GRI 6 and GRI 3(c), this model is classified in the subheading which occurs last in numerical order. Another series identified in your letter is the CP (Continuous Power) Series. This series consists of the following models: Model CP 500 (500VA/350W)
Model CP 1K (1000VA/700W)

These models are used principally in automatic data processing machines.

The applicable subheading for the Model XRT 2002 will be 8504.40.8500, harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Power supplies for automatic data processing machines and units thereof...[f]or telecommunications apparatus.” The rate of duty will be free.
