RE: The tariff classification of wheel hub assemblies from Korea
Dear Ms. Himebaugh:
In your letter dated July 29, 2005 you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The items are three wheel hub assemblies.

The second assembly (part number 515058) is a third generation double flanged hub assembly that incorporates tapered roller bearings. This hub assembly is splined so that when pressed to the driving axle, the power from the axle can be transmitted to the wheel.
The third assembly (part number 51200) is a third generation double flanged hub assembly that incorporates ball bearings. The hub assembly’s inner ring is not splined and does not transmit power from the axle to the wheel. Its purpose is to provide a mounting surface for the wheel.
