Dear Mr. Saunders:

In your letter dated July 1, 2002 on behalf of Legend Valve & Fittings, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Representative samples of the products to be imported were submitted with your request.

Articles classifiable under subheading 7307.92.30, HTS, which are products of Indonesia may be entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized system of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance with all applicable regulations. The GSP is subject to modification and periodic suspension, which may affect the status of your transaction at the time of entry for consumption or withdrawal from warehouse. To obtain current information on GSP, check the Customs Web site at www.customs.gov.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
