RE: The tariff classification of a bicycle frame part from
Taiwan
Dear Ms. Scott:
In your letter dated February 12, 1992, on behalf of
Softride Inc., Bellingham, WA, you requested a tariff
classification ruling. You have submitted illustrative
literature.
The imported product is a bicycle frame part called a brake
mount. The brake mount is an integral part of the Softride
Powercurve TM frame. It is brazed into the bicycle tubing prior
to painting. The product completes the inner section of the top
tube, rear stays and brake mount in the basic construction
process of the bicycle frame.
The applicable subheading for the brake mount will be
8714.91.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for parts and accessories of bicycles:
frames and forks, and parts thereof. The rate of duty will be 10
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 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
Area Director
