RE: The tariff classification of rocker arms for diesel engines
from Italy.
Dear Mr. Harrison:
In your letter dated November 18, 1998 you requested a
tariff classification ruling. You submitted a sample with your
request.
The imported articles are complete, machined and assembled
cast iron rocker arms which are to be used in the assembly of
diesel engines. These engines are installed primarily in John
Deere agricultural machinery, and also to a lesser degree in
portable air compressors. The rocker arm assemblies are used to
open the intake and exhaust valves in diesel engines.
The applicable subheading for the rocker arms for diesel
engines will be 8409.99.9990, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for parts suitable for use
solely or principally with the engines of heading 8407 or 8408:
other ... other. The rate of duty will be 0.7 percent ad
valorem.
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
Patrick J. Wholey at 212-466-5668.
