Tariff classification
HTS codes: 9032.89.6060
Headings: 9032
Product description
The item at issue is described as a "total bar control system". Specifically the imported article is the model AZ 200 controller. It is a microprocessor based unit that permits direct control of all products found in a bar (liquor, beer, wine, soft drinks, juice, etc.) The unit controls the dispensing of these liquids, measuring the quantities and automatically entering the price, the user and the point of sale of a product. The complete system, with all of its optional equipment, allows the controller to regulate soft drink dispensers, liquor towers for delivering cocktails and mixed drinks, beer & wine dispensers, cash register, etc. The controller also stores recipes for a wide range of mixed drinks. It is our belief that the essential function of the AZ-200 is to automatically measure and control the flow of liquids.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the AZ-200 will be 9032.89.6060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for automatic regulating or controlling instruments and apparatus.
