RE: The tariff classification of a mobile crane from Mexico
Dear Mr. Robinette:
In your letter dated September 5, 1995 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
Information submitted with your inquiry depicts the mobile
crane as a small crane capable of being mounted on a vehicle
trailer hitch drawbar or on a rollabout frame. The crane
basically consists of a vertical column, boom arm, hydraulic
cylinder or winch lifting device, and optional outriggers. It is
similar in size to the type of crane used in workshops and
garages.
The applicable subheading for the mobile crane will be
8426.91.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for cranes designed for mounting on road
vehicles. The rate of duty will be 1.6 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 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 Alan
Horowitz at 212-466-5494.
Sincerely,
