RE: The tariff classification of a jack from Mexico
Dear Mr. Robinette:
In your letter dated September 5, 1995 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The pedestal type transmission jack is a hydraulic jack
which aids in the removal or installation of a transmission from
an automobile or light truck. It basically consists of an X-
shaped base with four casters, a central column incorporating a
hydraulic cylinder, and an adjustable saddle which may be tilted
forward, backward, or to either side to assure precise alignment.
The jack can lift transmissions weighing up to 1500 pounds.
The applicable subheading for the pedestal type transmission
jack will be 8425.42.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other hydraulic jacks and
hoists. 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.
