RE: The tariff classification of Turning Ring Assembly from Norway

Dear Mr. Schau:

In your letter dated April 23, 1999 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You submitted blue print drawings, diagrams, and photographs of a Turning Ring Assemblies which are used in a MT30 and MT40 Articulated Off-Road Dump Trucks. The Turning Ring Assembly connects the cab chassis to the dump chassis. The function is to allow the operation of the dump truck to travel across irregular surfaces which would otherwise overturn a rigid chassis configuration. The ring assembly is made from eight components made of both steel flanges and brass rings which allow three hundred and sixty degree rotation between the front and rear of the assembly.

The applicable subheading for the Turning Ring Assembly will be 8708.99.8080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705: Other parts and accessories: Other: Other: Other: Other...Other. The rate of duty will be 2.5% 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 212-637-7035.

Sincerely,
