Pickering Benchmark Export Services, Inc. 108A Erickson Avenue Essington, PA 19029 RE: The tariff classification of fiberglass reinforced plastic grating from China Dear Mr. Pickering: In your letter dated September 15, 2016, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, Bedford Reinforced Plastics. The product to be imported is fiberglass reinforced plastic grating that will be used in the construction of walkways, platforms, stairs and flooring systems. We find that the subject merchandise is similar to the grating ruled upon in NY N019774 dated November 29, 2007. The applicable subheading for the fiberglass reinforced plastic grating will be 3925.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Builders’ ware of plastics, not elsewhere specified or included: Other. The rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at https://hts.usitc.gov/current. You have asked whether this product is subject to antidumping duties or countervailing duties (AD/CVD). Written decisions regarding the scope of AD/CVD orders are issued by the Enforcement and Compliance office in the International Trade Administration of the Department of Commerce and are separate from tariff classification and origin rulings issued by Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

For your information, you can view a list of current AD/CVD cases at the United States International Trade Commission website at https://www.usitc.gov (click on “Antidumping and Countervailing Duty” under “Popular Topics” at the top of the screen), and you can search AD/CVD deposit and liquidation messages using CBP’s AD/CVD Search tool at http://addcvd.cbp.gov/. 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.
