RE: The tariff classification of a hydraulic cylinder (Ultraram)
from Canada
Dear Mr. Penksa:
In your letter dated September 23, 1991, on behalf of your client,
UltraMetal Ltd., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The Ultraram is a linear acting hydraulic cylinder with tie rod
ends, for use in various machinery. There are 4 series, each with a
PSI ranging from 2000 to 5000 continuous service. The H series is
designed for extra heavy duty mill type. The A series is for heavy
duty industrial type. The C series is for standard duty type and the E
series is for medium duty type.
The applicable subheading for the Ultraram will be 8412.21.0015,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for hydraulic power engines and motors, linear acting, tie-rod type.
The duty rate will be 3.4 percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 8412.21.0015, HTS, which have
originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a 1.3
percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free Trade
Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable regulations.
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.
