Dear Ms. Gawronski:
In your letter dated April 1, 2010 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client RPC/Bramlage-Wiko USA. Samples were submitted.
Based upon our examination of the submitted samples, the articles in question are pump head assemblies for dispensers, identified as item numbers 41004DJ, 2437ST, 1300C and 7502CD. The pump heads are hand-operated pumps for dispensing liquids. Except for item number 1300C, the assemblies include a plastic cap.
The applicable subheading for the pump assemblies, whether or not presented with a plastic cap, will be 8413.20.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for hand-operated pumps for liquids, other than those fitted or designed to be fitted with a measuring device. The rate of duty is free.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
