RE: The tariff classification of bumper components and a dolly from France

Dear Mr. Heck:

In your letter, dated November 5, 2005, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The merchandise is various components that are used to vertically attach speakers to each other in an array fashion and a heavy-duty dolly.

GEOT-BUMPER is a steel top bumper component that attaches to the top speaker in the array and is used to lift the entire speaker array from the ceiling. GEOT-KELPBEAM is a steel kelping beam that attaches to the top bumper. GEOT-BTBUMPER is a steel bottom bumper component that attaches to the bottom speaker in the array. CD18-WB Wheel Board is a heavy-duty dolly made of a wooden platform with four heavy-duty casters that is used to transport speakers from one location to another.

The applicable subheading for the GEOT-BUMPER, GEOT-KELPBEAM and the GEOT-BTBUMPER will be 7326.90.8587, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other articles of iron or steel, other, other, other, other, other. The rate of duty will be 2.9 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the CD18-WB Wheel Board will be 8716.80.5090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled; and parts thereof, other vehicles, other, other, other. The rate of duty will be 3.2 percent ad valorem.
