Product description
This ruling concerns the classification of a CIENA CN 2200( Managed Optical Ethernet Multiplexer. The descriptive literature submitted states that the CIENA CN 2200( Managed Optical Ethernet Multiplexer is a carrier-grade, easy-to-deploy platform designed for Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) service applications. By integrating GbE transport and high speed 10 Gb/s optical networking, the CN 2200 offers a compelling economic model for GbE service delivery through unmatched ease of use, port density, invest-as-you-grow scalability and best-in-class fiver capacity utilization. The CN 2200 multiplexes up to eight GbE services for transport over a 9.953 Gb/s (10 Gb/s) dense wavelength division multiplexer (DWDM) optical interface. This wire-like GbE transport provides guaranteed security, Quality of Service (QoS), and transparent support for all Internet Protocol (IP) an Ethernet-based protocols. In particular, microsecond latency further enhances service quality in delay sensitive applications, such as streaming video.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the CIENA CN 2200( Managed Optical Ethernet Multiplexer will be 8517.50.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Other apparatus, for carrier-current line systems or for digital line systems: Other: Telegraphic: Other.
