RE:  The tariff classification of a power supply chassis from
Mexico

Dear Mr. Larson:

     In your letter dated July 1, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Philips Consumer Electronics
Company.

     Your letter describes the power supply chassis as a device
designed to provide a television receiver and cathode ray tube
with their requisite direct current (DC) operating voltages of
130 volts (v), 30kv, 15kv, 210v, and 12 v.  It accepts a fused
120 volt alternating current (AC) input and transforms the
resultant dc voltages to the desired voltage levels.  The power
supply provides 130v, 30kv, 15kv, 210v for reference, and 12v dc. 
The device does not contain any television components.  Your
letter does not specify the output wattage of the device.

     The applicable subheading for the power supply will be
8504.40.00, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for "[s]tatic converters."  The duty rate
will be 3 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
