Dear Ms. Talley:

In your letter dated July 22, 1999 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Komatsu America International.

The items in question are described as shims and identified as part numbers 708-25-14160, 1137525C1, 115157 and 6150-29-2220. Samples and technical drawings were submitted.

The shim identified as part number 708-25-14160 is a metal component which functions as a spacer to accommodate for wear in the repair of hydraulic pump assemblies. Part number 1137535C1 is a metal shim designed to accommodate for wear in the repair of an idler pulley.
