RE:  The tariff classification of the Boumatic System Analyzer SA
II from the Netherlands

Dear Mr. Gardenier:

     In your letter dated May 7, 1991, on behalf of your client,
Dairy Equipment Co., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.         

     The Boumatic System Analyzer, model SA II, is a portable,
hand-held electronic device designed to measure system vacuum
levels and pressure pulsations in milking machinery.  The unit
contains an internal memory capable of retaining data from up to
24 pulsators and prints out a number of different statistical
reports on their performance.  The unit has two hose fittings in
the rear which connect to sampling hoses which are spliced into
the pneumatic lines of the milking machine pulsator.  The SA II
is microprocessor-based and contains an electronic pressure
transducer as the sensing element.

     The applicable subheading for the Boumatic System Analyzer
SA II will be 9026.20.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for instruments and apparatus
for measuring or checking pressure, electrical.  The rate of duty
will be 4.9 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
