RE: The tariff classification of Truck Road Wheels, Rims, and Spacers from Mexico, Canada, and the United States

Dear Ms. Horton:

In your letter dated July 10, 2002 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You submitted your Product Catalog depicting your entire line of Truck Road Wheels, Rims, and Spacers.

The items you have requested classification on are:

Hub-Piloted Tubeless Wheels – steel and aluminum truck wheels. These are wheels that are designed to center on the hub at the bore of the wheel. These wheels generally have straight through bolt holes, since the bolt holes only supply clearance for the stud. Stud-Piloted Tubeless & Tube-Type Wheels – steel and aluminum wheels. These are wheels that are designed to center on the studs of a hub. These wheels have chamfers at the bolt holes into which a ball seat or conical nut is installed to center the wheel. The center bore of the wheel is only for clearance of the axle end. Demountable Rims – a rim with valve locaters which is used with a cast spoke wheel to provide the method of attaching tires to the vehicle. Corrugated Channel Spacer Bands – a band of steel which separates two demountable rims on spoke wheels (also called “spacers”). Duplex® Disc Wheels and Duplex® Demountable Rims. Wheel-Guard® Separator Plate – it is placed between the hub or drum and the wheel.

The applicable subheading for the Hub-Piloted Tubeless Wheels, Stud-Piloted Tubeless & Tube-Type Wheels, and Duplex® Disc Wheels will be 8708.70.4530, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Road wheels and parts and accessories thereof: For other vehicles: Road wheelsFor vehicles of subheading 8701.20 or heading 8702, 8704 or 8705.
