RE: The tariff classification of Ceiling Mounted Service Columns from Canada

Dear Mr. Brogan:

In your letters dated October 8th and December 29, 2004, for Amico Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling. No samples were submitted.

You describe the items as follows:

“1. Ceiling mounted service column, manual retractable Ceiling mounted service column, pneumatic retractable

“The ‘medical gas’ that each of the service columns is designed to handle is configured by Amico’s engineers based on specifications provided by the medical facility at which the column will be installed. Medical gases the units can be configured to deliver are: oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, medical air, and carbon dioxide. Although the units can be configured to deliver both anaesthetic and therapeutic gases, the columns are specifically designed for use in operating/surgery rooms.

The units can also be configured to provide: Waste Anaesthesia Gas Disposal/Anaesthesia Gas Scavenging Service (WAGD/AGSS), and medical vacuum services as well as electrical and communication services.”

We consider HRL 954174 LTO, 11-23-93 to be controlling regarding their classification of the Ceiling Mounted Service Column Rigid (Stationary).

Therefore, the applicable subheading for these items will be 9033.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Parts and Accessories (not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 90) for machines, appliances, instruments or apparatus of Chapter 90. The general rate of duty will be 4.4 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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist J. Sheridan at 646-733-3012.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
