It comes in various models and sizes, all similar in appearance; the sizes range from 15-16.5" in diameter and 4-8 " in width.

You state that the item will be imported into the U.S., pre-assembled, through the Port of Detroit, Michigan.

The applicable subheading for the Cam Brake Assembly will be 8708.39.5050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Parts . . . of motor vehicles . . . : Brakes . . . and parts thereof: Other: For other vehicles: Other . The rate of duty will be 2.6% 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 Robert DeSoucey at 212-466-5667.

Sincerely,
