RE: The tariff classification of a bracket assembly-side rear
door upper roller from Canada.
Dear Mr. Murphy:
In your letter dated May 20, 1992 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The item is an assembly which is used as a hinge and guide
for the side doors of vans. It is comprised of a hot forged
steel bracket, a formed steel rod, and a roller bearing. All
three pieces are permanently fastened together. The bracket is
bolted to the interior of the sliding door and the bearing rides
in a track incorporated into the roof structure of the vehicle.
The applicable subheading for the bracket assembly-side rear
door upper roller will be 8302.10.3000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for hinges of
iron or steel, aluminum or of zinc: designed for motor vehicles.
The rate of duty will be 3.1 percent ad valorem.
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
