RE: The tariff classification of an ignition lock assembly, a
wiring harness, vehicle locks, and keys from Japan
Dear Ms. Hagans:
In your letter dated June 1, 1995, on behalf of Honda All-Lock Manufacturing Company, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The items in your request are described as an ignition lock
assembly into which a key is inserted to start a vehicle; a
wiring harness which serves to complete the electrical circuit
and transmit electrical signals to and from the ignition lock
assembly; a trunk lock, and right and left door locks; a keyless
electrically operated door lock; and three keys.
The applicable subheading for the ignition lock assembly
will be 8536.50.8060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other electrical switches. The
rate of duty will be 4.8 percent ad valorem. The applicable
subheading for the wiring harness will be 8544.30.0000, HTS,
which provides for other wiring sets of a kind used in vehicles.
The rate of duty will be 5 percent ad valorem. If the wiring
harness is imported attached to the ignition lock assembly, it
will be classified with the assembly in subheading 8536.50.8060.
The applicable subheading for the trunk lock, right door lock,
left door lock and keyless electrically operated door lock will
be 8301.20.0000, HTS, which provides for locks of a kind used in
motor vehicles. The rate of duty will be 5.7 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the keys will be 8301.70.0000, HTS,
which provides for keys of base metal, presented separately. The
rate of duty will be 5.5 percent ad valorem.
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
