RE: The tariff classification of an auxiliary heating system,
combustion air blower and pump from Canada
Dear Mr. Grasher:
In your letter dated December 15, 1990 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The "Thermo Star" vehicle heater system is an auxiliary
heating system used to heat and regulate heated coolant flow to a
truck's cab, engine and fuel tank. The system does not rely upon
the vehicle's engine for its source of heat.
The complete system consists of the boxed unit with heater
control module, cab mounted thermostat and function control
panel, fuel metering pump with fuel filter, pickup pipe and fuel
lines, solenoid control valve with check valve, exhaust pipe,
wiring harness and installation kit and mounting hardware.
The applicable subheading for the complete "Thermo Star"
vehicle heater system with the above named components will be
7322.90.0015, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for air heaters and hot air distributors.
The duty rate will be 4.2 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the blower will be 8414.59.8040,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for fans, other, other. The duty rate will be 4.7
percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 7322.90.0015, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
2.9 percent ad valorem rate of duty under the United States-
Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all
applicable regulations.
Goods classifiable under subheading 8414.59.8040, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
1.8 percent ad valorem rate of duty under the United States-
Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all
applicable regulations.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to give
a classification ruling on the pump. Your request for a
classification ruling should include the type of pump
(reciprocating, rotary or centrifugal).
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
