Product description
The prospective import, Carbon-Carbon Composites (carbon fiber-carbon matrix) are continuous multifiber carbon yarns impregnated with a mixture (matrix) of pitch and coke particles. The impregnated yarns are coated with a thermoplastic resin that prevents the matrix precursor powders from being lost during handling and subsequent processing. The importer advises that both raw material, as well as finished products (e.g., coil springs, rods, shelves, bolts and nuts, link conveyor belts, roller conveyor parts, furnace parts) will be imported.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the Carbon-Carbon Composites will be 6815.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for nonelectrical articles of graphite or other carbon.
