Dear Mr. Tinney: In your letter dated August 2, 1989, on behalf of Raychem Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The EZF-6 video cable connector is a coaxial connector assembled in Denmark, of U.S. origin components. Subsequent to assembly, a cassette loading machine will insert twelve connectors onto a plastic cassette, of Danish origin. The merchandise is then shipped in bulk to the United States where it will be packaged with other components and sold to customers as a cable connector kit. The applicable subheading for the EZF-6 video cable connectors will be 8536.69.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for electrical apparatus for making connections to or in electrical circuits, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V: Other...Coaxial connectors...

The rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

As such, the value of these components will be subject to duty free treatment under item 9802.00.80, HTS. 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.
