RE:  The tariff classification of baling machines and conveyors
from Holland

Dear Mr. Donaldson:

     In your letter dated August 22, 1991 on behalf of Fishburne
International. Inc. you requested a tariff classification ruling.
         
     You submitted several brochures with your inquiry.  One
brochure describes the Boa Continette 25 universal bale press for
the compression and baling of waste in the paper and cardboard
manufacturing industries.  This machine utilizes a hydraulically
powered ram to compress the paper waste, and a binding system
which wraps four wires horizontally around the compressed bale to
bind it together.  A second brochure describes the Continu 25, a
similar baling machine for use on used paper.  The Boa models 80-
1 and 80-2 are continuous balers for paper, plastic, or other
types of waste, and contain a vertical wire strapping unit.  The
model 80-2 features a double drive for faster operation and a
larger output.

     The applicable subheading for the baling machines described
above will be 8422.40.9080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other packing or wrapping
machinery, other.  The rate of duty will be 3.6 percent ad
valorem.   
     
     You also enclosed general brochures depicting various waste
handling equipment, including conveyors, sorting bins, shredders,
and separators.  The applicable heading for belt conveyors will
be 8428.33.0000, HTS, which provides for other continuous-action
conveyors, for goods or materials: other, belt type.  The rate of
duty will be 2 percent ad valorem.  Your inquiry does not provide
enough information for us to give a classification ruling on the
sorting bins, shredders, and separators.  Your request for a
classification ruling should include a detailed description of
these articles, explaining what they do and how they operate.

     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
