NY E84393 July 8, 1999 CLA-2-90:RR:NC:MM:114 E84393 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 9031.49.9000 Mr. Joel Junker, P.C. 999 Third Avenue Suite 2525 Seattle, Washington 98104 RE: Eligibility under NAFTA of the WebVision System from Canada Dear Mr. Junker: In your letter dated June 7, 1999, on behalf of Papertech, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. We issued a ruling to you, New York Ruling E83301, dated June 23, 1999. In the ruling, we classified the WebVision System under 9031.49.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. We stated, relating to NAFTA eligibility under 9031.49.9000, HTS, that the rule relating to 9031.49.40, HTS, applies. This was an error. The NAFTA eligibility rule which applies to subheading 9031.49, HTS, under GN 12(t)is: “(A) A change to subheading 9031.49 from any other heading; or (B) A change to heading 9031.49 from subheading 9031.90, whether or not there is also a change from any other heading, provided there is a regional value content of not less than: (1) 60 percent where the transaction value method is used, or (2) 50 percent where the net cost method is used.” New York Ruling E84393 modifies New York Ruling E83301, and should be applied in conjunction with E83301. 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.
