RE: The tariff classification of plastic Automobile Clamps from Japan

Dear Ms. Dawley:

In your letter dated January 7, 2002 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client Denso Manufacturing Michigan, Inc.

You submitted schematic drawings and samples of each of the parts in question. You state in your narrative that the subject clamps are made of molded plastic and are specifically designed for use in automobile heating and/or cooling systems to brace and secure the pipes and tubes (called pipes) associated with those systems. These clamps are not fastened to any part of the vehicle.
