There are also several connectors, including a cable with connector which is designed to be attached to part number 77527-1. The applicable subheading for the control panel identified as part number 77527-1, will be 8537.10.9070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other boards, panels, ..., for electric control or the distribution of electricity.

Please provide specifics as to how this printed circuit board operates, i.e., what process takes place, including information on the functions performed by the integrated circuit and the transformer. This office will retain the submitted samples for future reference. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
