RE:  The tariff classification of the "Jackstack Stacker System" from Sweden.

Dear Mr. Staub:

     In your letter dated July 11, 1996, on behalf of Jackstack BVBA, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     The submitted literature depicts the item, the "Jackstack Stacker System", as a food
preparation storage and serving system.  It consists of racks for the storage of  plates and can be
adjusted for different sized plates. The individual racks feature end-stops and plastic  anti-slip O-rings for gripping power. It is manufactured of all steel welded construction and has a black
electrostatic powder coated scratch and rust resistant finish.  The overall height of the system is 6
feet on a 24" base; each section is 35" high.  A mobile base features four 6" roller-bearing disk
wheels, two with brakes.  The system is designed for placing on the floor or ground and is used with
a utilitarian purpose.

     The applicable subheading for the "Jackstack Stacker System" will be 9403.20.0020,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for ...Other metal furniture: 
Other: Counters, lockers, racks, display cases, shelves, partitions and similar fixtures.  The rate of
duty will be 2.4%.  The merchandise is not subject to any antidumping or countervailing duty and
therefore no additional duties are required.   

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