RE:The tariff classification of Ink Ribbons for Dye Sublimation Thermal Printers

Dear Ms. Richardson:



In your letter dated March 19, 1996, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.



The sample ink ribbons, models 5UPR-6040 (width-70 mm), 50UPR-

1070 (width-98 mm) and 10UPR-7040 (width-215 mm), consist of a thin base sheet
of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film on a pair of rollers.  Translucent
(sublimation) dyes are applied on the film in a series of color configurations
(i.e. yellow, magenta, cyan and black).  These ink ribbons, also known as "Ink
Sheet Rolls " or "ISR's", are used in digital video printers.



The applicable subheading for models 5UPR-6040 and 50UPR-1070 will be

provides for photographic film in rolls, sensitized... Other film, without
