General Notices
Notice of Domestic Interested Party Petitioner's Contesting
of Classification Determination
AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice of petitioner's desire to contest classification deter-
mination.
SUMMARY: On August 4, 2006, a domestic manufacturer of glass
preforms for optical fibers (optical glass preforms), filed a domestic
interested party petition in accordance with the procedures of sec-
tion 516 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR Part 175
regarding the tariff classification of imported optical glass preforms.
The petition challenged CBP's classification of optical glass preforms
under subheading 7002.20.10, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), and requested CBP to reclassify all optical
glass preforms under subheading 7020.00.60, HTSUS, as other ar-
ticles of glass, or, alternatively, under 9001.10.00, HTSUS, as unfin-
ished optical fibers. On July 14, 2008, Customs and Border Protec-
tion (CBP) denied the petition and affirmed its decision that optical
glass preforms are classified in subheading 7002.20.10, HTSUS, as
glass rods of fused quartz or other fused silica, unworked. In accor-
dance with 19 CFR 175.23 and 175.24, CBP is providing notice of its
classification decision and is also giving notice of the receipt of peti-
tioner's desire to contest this decision in court.
DATE: June 12, 2009.
