RE: The tariff classification of a hydraulic jack from Mexico
Dear Mr. Robinette:
In your letter dated September 5, 1995 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The heavy duty low transmission jack is a steel jack which
basically consists of a base with swivel casters, a hand operated
hydraulic cylinder, and an adjustable saddle. It is used to aid
in removing or installing the transmission of an automobile while
the vehicle is resting on floor jack stands. It has a lifting
capacity of 1000 pounds.
The applicable subheading for the heavy duty low
transmission jack will be 8425.42.0000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other
hydraulic jacks and hoists. The rate of duty will be 1.6 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 the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Alan
Horowitz at 212-466-5494.
