RE:  The tariff classification of a paper or other media dispenser (feeder) for       plotters, from
Germany

Dear Ms. Marok:

     In your letter dated July 22, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Leslie
Taylor Mfg. Co. Ltd.         

     The Plotjet AS3-HP is a machine that feeds paper or other media into plotters from three rolls
which can contain media of three different types or widths.  It can feed media up to a width of 36
inches ("D" size) which it cuts to lengths which have been programmed by the operator.  It is
designed to be used as an accessory to Hewlett-Packard CAD plotters, and specifically, the HP
DesignJet 650C series.

     The applicable subheading for the Plotjet AS3-HP will be 9017.90.0035, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other drawing instruments, other,
accessories.  The rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.
   
     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19
C.F.R. 177).  

     A copy of this ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If you have any questions regarding this
