RE: The tariff classification of power adaptors with output jacks from China

Dear Ms. Massey:

In your letter dated January 18, 2007 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The merchandise subject to this ruling is four power adaptors with output jacks. They are identified within your letter as Item # 74704, #74706, #34980, and #44242. Samples of each of these power adaptors were furnished for classification purposes.

Each of these power adaptors converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Item # 74704 converts 120 volts of AC to 3 volts of DC and contains four output jacks. Item #74706 converts 120 volts of AC to 4.5 volts of DC and contains three output jacks. Item #34980 converts 120 volts of AC to 3 volts of DC and contains four output jacks.
