RE:  The tariff classification of a programmable power supply
from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Cummings:

     In your letter dated August 15,1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     The subject merchandise, identified in the submitted literature as
model PPS255, is a unit that does not generate power. It regulates the
flow of power within pre-set frequencies to provide a constant flow of
power from a power source to equipment, preventing spikes and brown
outs.  The common applications for this merchandise are computer
service and any electric servicing operations that must maintain a
controlled flow of energy.  The PPS225 has an input voltage of 220 VAC
and a maximum output power of 75 VA.  The PPS225 appears to be an
alternating current converter.

     The applicable subheading for the programmable power supply will
be 8504.40.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for "[s]tatic converters, [o]ther." The rate of duty
will be 3 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
