Dear Mr. Marogil:

Á???????ÁIn your letter dated May 16, 2001, on behalf of Hakuto America, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. You submitted descriptive literature with your request.

Á???????ÁThe article in question is an electrical pre©heater which is used in the printed circuit board processing industry. This apparatus weighs 170 kilos and operates on 220 volts and a 6 kW power source. This machine is used at the stage of cutting and laminating dry film. Panels to be cut and laminated are first fed into this apparatus for pre©heating prior to lamination. The pre©heater uses hot rollers which transport the panels that are fed into it. The machine utilizes a conveyor with adjustable speeds ranging from one to three meters per minute.

Á???????ÁThe applicable subheading for the electrical pre©heater will be 8419.89.9085, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for machinery, plant or laboratory equipment, whether or not electrically heated, for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature such as heating, drying, evaporating..., other than machinery or plant of a kind used for domestic purposes: other: other: other: for other materials. The rate of duty will be 4.2 percent ad valorem.
