Internal Advice Request No. 05/006; Classification of unassembled safety welding helmets from Sweden. Dear Port Director: This ruling is in response to a request for Internal Advice initiated by KMZ Rosenman, on behalf of their client, 3M Corporation. At issue is the proper classification of unassembled safety welding helmets.
