RE: The tariff classification of insulated electrical wires,
connectors and a cable hangar from Taiwan and Singapore
Dear Mr. Patrakis:
In your letter dated June 20, 1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
As indicated in your request, these items are for use with a
12 volt electrical system in an automobile and consist of the
following:
- insulated electrical wires of 12 gauge and 14 gauge thickness
- a spade like connector terminal called a "female
disconnect" for 12-16 gauge wire
- a nylon insulated closed end connector for 12-16 gauge wire
- a one-quarter inch nylon "U" shaped cable hangar
The applicable subheading for the insulated electrical wires
will be 8544.49.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other electric conductors, for a
voltage not exceeding 80 V. The rate of duty will be 4.9 percent
ad valorem. The applicable subheading for the "female
disconnect" will be 8536.90.0090, HTS, which provides for other
electrical apparatus for making connections to or in electrical
circuits. The rate of duty will be 4.8 percent ad valorem. The
applicable subheading for the nylon insulated closed end
connector will be 8546.90.0000, HTS, which provides for other
electrical insulators. The rate of duty will be 3 percent ad
valorem. The applicable subheading for the one-quarter inch
nylon cable hanger will be 3926.90.9890, HTS, which provides for
other articles of plastics. The rate of duty will be 5.3 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
