Classification of imported component upheld as part of an automatic data processing machine, defeating the refund claim.

The imported item was examined for classification between a part of an automatic data processing machine and a part of a phototypesetting machine. Because the appellant's own records showed that it was meant for use in the monitor assembly of the phototypesetting machine, it was treated as a component assessable under Tariff Heading 8473.30 rather than as an independent part of printing or phototypesetting machinery. The classification under Tariff Heading 8473.30 was therefore upheld, and the refund claim failed.

Issues: Whether the imported part was classifiable under Tariff Heading 8473.30 as a part of an automatic data processing machine or under Tariff Heading 8442.32 as a part of a phototypesetting machine.

Analysis: The imported item was admittedly meant for use in the monitor assembly of the phototypesetting machine. The appellants' own documents showed that it formed part of the monitor assembly. On that basis, it was treated as a part assessable with the automatic data processing machine rather than as an independent part of printing or phototypesetting machinery.

Conclusion: The classification under Tariff Heading 8473.30 was upheld and the refund claim failed.
