RE: The tariff classification of a magnesium powder making plant from South Korea.

关于从韩国进口的镁粉生产线的货物归类

Dear Mr. Waite:

In your letter dated January 10, 2011, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client ESM Group, Inc. Drawings and information regarding the device were included.

在你2011年1月10日的来信中,你代表你的客户ESM 集团公司申请了分类决定。图纸和相关信息也包含其中。

The device is a system for the production of magnesium powder pellets. According to your information, the entire system is imported together. The system is quite extensive with various components that the magnesium goes through before being turned to powder. The primary purpose of the system is served by the magnesium ore being heated and melted in a furnace chamber and then forced, by blowers, through a nozzle into a chamber of cooling gas where the small particles which pass through the nozzle are cooled and form round or oval beads as a result of the cooling and magnesium’s surface tension.
