The cab chassis will be provided with a diesel engine exceeding 2,500 cc. The cab chassis will be transported as fully operational vehicles equipped with engine, transmission, front and rear axles, complete brake system, fuel tank system, exhaust system and wheels.

The applicable subheading for the cab chassis will be 8704.22.1020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Motor vehicles for the transport of goods: Other with compression ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel): G.V.W. exceeding 5 metric tons but not exceeding 20 metric tons: Cab chassis: G.V.W. exceeding 5 metric tons but not exceeding 9 metric tons.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
