RE: The tariff classification of gear pumps from Italy
Dear Mr. Schau:
In your letter dated November 9, 1999 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client Sauer Sundstrand.
The items in question are described as Group 2 fixed displacement pumps, which include model numbers SNP2, SHP2 and SKP2. Technical literature was submitted.
The subject pumps are rotary positive displacement pumps. The pumps utilize an internal arrangement of gears to displace hydraulic fluid within the pump housing and generate fluid pressure. The gear pumps are used to generate power in hydraulic power systems.
The applicable subheading for the Group 2 displacement pumps will be 8413.60.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for gear type rotary positive displacement pumps for hydraulic fluid. The rate of duty will be free.
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 Kenneth T. Brock at 212-637-7026.
Sincerely,
