RE: The tariff classification of bearing bolts and bearing
sleeves from West Germany.
Dear Ms. Waldner:
In your letter dated May 3, 1990 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The bearing bolts put pressure on the cylinders of the
printing press enabling the impression cylinders to make the
proper transfer of ink to paper.
The bearing sleeves lock the print rollers into position
without any play thereby giving proper balance of water to the
printing plate.
The applicable subheading for the bearing bolts will be
8443.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for parts of printing machinery. The rate
of duty will be 3.3 percent ad valorem
The applicable subheading for the bearing sleeves will be
8483.20.4080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for housed bearings, incorporating needle
roller bearings. The rate of duty will be 5.7 percent ad valorem.
It is the opinion of this office that the bearing sleeves are not
subject to antidumping under the current antidumping orders.
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
