RE:  The tariff classification of reciprocating gas compressors
from the Netherlands

Dear Mr. Slagle:

     In your letter dated May 16, 1991, on behalf of your client,
Conmec, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.      
  

     The items in question constitute the Model C series of heavy
duty reciprocating gas compressors.  These represent a line of
both high and low speed units, with a maximum of eight compressor
cylinders and a capacity range of from 700 kW to 14,500 kW.

     The applicable subheading for the gas compressors will be
8414.80.1055, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for air or other gas stationary,
reciprocating compressors, exceeding 74.6 kW.  The rate of duty
will be 3.4 percent ad valorem.   

     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
