RE: The tariff classification of a Pickup Truck from Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Boland:
In your letter dated March 10,1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The items you requested classification for were a New Varica
Deluxe Iron Bed Pickup (Model #CM6203) and a New Varica 2-seat
Standard Window Van (Model #CM6508A); both with spark-ignition
internal combustion reciprocating piston engines and weighing
1.75 metric tons apiece.
The applicable subheading for the New Varica Deluxe Iron Bed
Pickup (Model #CM6203) will be 8704.31.0020, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Motor
vehicles for the transport of goods: Other, with spark-ignition
internal combustion piston engine: G.V.W. not exceeding 5 metric
tons: G.V.W. not exceeding 2.5 metric tons. The duty rate will
be 25% ad valorem.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to
give a classification ruling on the New Varica 2-seat Standard
Window Van (Model #CM6508A). Your request for a classification
ruling should include a complete description of it's internal
configuration and pictures of both the interior and exterior of
the vehicle.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
