The item in question is described as flagpole truck component used to enable other components to rotate on top of one another. Descriptive literature and a sample were submitted.
The component in question is comprised of a flat washer shaped cage of plastic incorporating round stainless steel balls. The steel balls serve as rolling elements, which together with the plastic cage form a thrust bearing assembly.
The applicable subheading for the thrust bearing assembly will be 8482.10.5008, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for thrust bearings. The rate of duty will be 9 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 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.
