RE: The tariff classification of a pneumatic lift from Mexico
Dear Mr. Robinette:
In your letter dated September 5, 1995 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The air powered front/rear end lift is a machine which
basically consists of an adjustable lift pad, a column containing
a pneumatic cylinder, a three way heavy duty air valve, and a
base with two rear wheels eight inches in diameter. The unit,
which has a lifting range of 8 to 35 inches and a maximum
capacity of 4000 pounds, is used to lift a vehicle from the front
or rear.
The applicable subheading for the air powered front/rear end
lift will be 8425.49.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for jacks; hoists of a kind
used for raising vehicles: other. 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
