The articles in question are a bearing and a seal ring. The bearing is a plain shaft bearing without housing used in mechanical agitators to allow a shaft assembly to rotate freely. The seal ring is a metal ring used to seal a cover to the body of a vessel in a stirred laboratory reactor. Descriptive information was submitted.

The rate of duty will be 4.5 percent ad valorem. We cannot rule on the classification of the seal ring. Additional information is required with respect to the stirred reactors in which the seal rings are used. Is heat generated in the vessel of the reactor? If so, how is it generated? Is there an external source of heat? Is the reaction that occurs in the stirred reactor principally the result of heat or the stirring action?
