Product description
The merchandise under consideration is a complete ozone water treatment system as described in your letter. The system models at issue are OEM Skid, Nano/Atlas/Titan 15---100, Magnum 160---200. The Suffixes define the ozone production in grams per hour (g/h) indicating effectiveness of water purification by the listed generator. The system treats water with ozone gas to remove impurities. The ozone is injected into the water by pressure or venturies. The ozone reacts with any water contaminants to dissolve and convert them into C02 and H20 byproducts. The complete system includes three different parts: 1. Air compressor and air preparation equipment for the ozonator (compressor, air dryer, oxygen concentrator, air filters). 2. Ozone generator (power inverter, ozone producing cell & measuring/controlling instruments). 3. Ozone into water injecting and dissolving device (Ventury injectors, tubing, flow control meters, ozone concentration measuring devices, water contamination test equipment to demonstrate efficiency of filtering and purification).
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the ozone water treatment system will be 8421.21.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for liquids: for filtering or purifying water.
