RE: The tariff classification of structural steel components
from Mexico
Dear Mr. Orozco:
In your letter dated May 22, 1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The structural components consist of steel girders, joists,
and bridging to be used in the construction of the steel frame of
a building. Girders are primary structural trusses which are
attached between the floor and/or roof systems in the building.
Joists are secondary structural members which are attached
between the girders and are used to support the floor and/or roof
systems. Bridging is the steel angle component that supports the
joists against movement and holds them in position.
The applicable subheading for these structural steel
components will be 7308.90.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for columns, pillars,
posts, beams, girders, and similar structural units, not in part
of alloy steel. The general rate of duty will be 2.5 percent ad
valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
