RE: The tariff classification of a zinc bottom bushing from Taiwan

Dear Mr. Nielson:

In your letter dated April 1, 2008, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The merchandise subject to this ruling is described in your letter as zinc bottom bushings. Three samples, which are identified as part #s ABB-3070, AMM-3062, and AMM-3063 were furnished for classification purposes. Each zinc bottom bushing is a component of various antenna models for use in voice, information, and other data (VID) applications. They are cast, machined and given a chrome or black finish, the ABB-3070 and the AMM-3062 both have a chrome finish and the AMM-3063 has a black finish. These zinc bottom bushings are integral to the assembly of a finished antenna. They are used to secure the antenna rod assembly to the mount making it a constituent and component part of the antenna. As such, each is a part of an antenna. The three samples of the zinc bottom bushings are being returned to you as per your request.

The applicable subheading for the zinc bottom bushing ( ABB-3070, AMM-3062 and AMM-3063) will be 8517.70.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Other apparatus for transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, including apparatus for communication in a wired or wireless network (such as a local or wide area network): Parts.” The rate of duty will be free.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

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

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Linda M. Hackett at 646-733-3015.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
