RE:	The tariff classification of a video monitor from Belgium.



Dear Mr. Hermann:



	In your letter dated February 19, 1996, resubmitted on March 27, 1996, you
requested a tariff classification ruling.



	This issue concerns the importation of a product called HOPROS
(Head-mounted Optical Projection System).  Your correspondence and accompanying
literature describes this system as a head mounted video monitor with video
pictures sent via cable.  Two versions, a VGA and Video in black and white are
available.  Both versions use a one inch diameter CRT.



	The applicable subheading for the HOPROS will be 8528.20.0000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for reception
apparatus for television: video monitors: black and white or other monochrome..
The rate of duty will be 5 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 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 Phil Carabetta at 212-466-5672.
