distribution of residential range hoods, subassemblies or component 
parts for centrifugal blowers, ceiling exhaust fans, wall or ceiling 
heaters, blower assemblies and roof and wall caps. Pursuant to 15 CFR

production. On its domestic sales, Broan-NuTone would be able to choose 
the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to range 
hoods/down drafts, blower assemblies, ceiling exhaust fans for 
permanent installation, roof/wall caps and heaters (floor, wall or
