RE:	The tariff classification of the QTZ-2 Electronic Nerve Stimulator from
China



Dear Mr. Lee:



	In your letter dated October 12, 1995 you requested a tariff classification
ruling.



	As indicated in the submitted descriptive literature, the QTZ-2 Electronic
Nerve Stimulator is a battery operated device which, in conjunction with Chinese
acupuncture, is used to treat bodily pain.  The Nerve Stimulator is equipped
with ear-fitting electrodes which, when attached to the ears, provide
amplitude-frequency signals on particular ear-points.



	The applicable subheading for the QTZ-2 Electronic Nerve Stimulator will be
8543.80.9890, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other electrical machines and apparatus, having individual
functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.  The rate of duty
will be 3.6 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 the 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 the ruling, contact National
Import Specialist David Curran at 212-466-5680.
