with a separate motor chamber and replaceable cartridge filter. Style number
58631 operates on 120 volts, while style number 58632 operates on 240 volts.
The applicable subheading for the pool filter pumps will be 8413.70.2005,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for
other single stage, single suction, close-coupled, centrifugal pumps. The rate
of duty will be 0.6 per cent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs
