RE:  The tariff classification of an unmounted bearing flange
housing from Japan

Dear Mr. Ackerson:

     In your letter dated May 2, 1991, on behalf of your client,
Ingersoll-Rand Company, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.         
     
     The item in question is a circular steel flange used to
house a ball bearing.  It is designed to be incorporated into a
hand-held, pneumatic, horizontal air grinder.  When matched with
its bearing, this stem supports the rotating arbor at the point
where it joins the speed controller.  There is a single alignment
hole on the outer rim to secure the flange to other machine
components.

     The applicable subheading for the mounting flange will be
8483.30.4040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for bearing housings; flange, take-up,
cartridge and hanger units, for ball bearings.  The rate of duty
will be 5.7 percent ad valorem.

     It is the opinion of this office that the unmounted bearing
flange would not be subject to antidumping duties under the
current Department of Commerce antifriction bearing dumping
investigation, as published in the Federal Register on May 15,
l989.  Unmounted bearing housings were not included in the scope
of this case.  Should you desire a binding Ruling on the
applicability of this ADA case to your merchandise, please write
directly to the Department of Commerce, Office of Compliance,
Washington, D.C.




   

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.



                                   Sincerely,

                                   
  
                                   Jean F. Maguire
