RE: The tariff classification of a tension knob bearing and a
mechanical needle bearing from West Germany
Dear Mr. Simpson:
In your letter dated March 29, 1990, on behalf of your
client, Comforto, Inc., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The items are part # 97250100000 tension knob bearing and
part # 97250150000 mechanical knob bearing to be used as chair
parts.
The applicable subheading for the tension knob bearing will
be 8482.10.5090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for ball bearings, other than radial. The
rate of duty will be 11 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the mechanical roller bearing
will be 8482.40.0000, (HTS), which provides for needle roller
bearings. The rate of duty will be 6.5 percent ad valorem.
It is the opinion of this office that the tension knob
bearing is subject to current antidumping determinations. It is
suggested that you contact the local port prior to importation
for the applicable dumping margin.
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
