The Freon 502- refrigeration and heat pump drying system produces rapid heating for drying with reduced steam and water usage. A drying controller adjusts the drying time for maximum solvent reclaimation and prevents static from overdrying. These machines are designed for use in dry cleaning establishments.

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.
