RE: The tariff classification of a spray nozzle from China
Dear Mr. Popovics:
In your letter dated August 15, 2014, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise under consideration is referred to as a “quick connect spray nozzle 25” (Sku 85-241) used for standard pressure washers. This spray nozzle has a ¼” quick connect plug that connects to the end of a pressure washing wand. The spray nozzle is made of 50 percent ausplastic and 50 percent stainless steel. The item weighs 0.2 lbs. This nozzle does not incorporate a valve/shut off mechanism that controls/regulates the flow of the water.
The applicable subheading for the spray nozzle will be 8424.90.9040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Mechanical appliances (whether or not hand operated) for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders…,parts thereof : …Parts: Other: Of steam and similar jet projecting machines”. The rate of duty will be Free.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Patricia O’Donnell at [email protected].
