RE: The tariff classification of a rodless hydraulic cylinder
from England
Dear Ms. Nolting:
In your letter dated April 14, 1992 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The item at hand is the "Ultran" brand rodless hydraulic
cylinder. The unit consists of a stainless steel hydraulic
cylinder surrounded by a magnetically coupled carriage. The
carriage is moved linearly by the attraction between the magnetic
elements in the cylinder piston and the carriage.
The applicable subheading for the Ultran rodless hydraulic
cylinder will be 8412.21.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for hydraulic, linear-acting
power engines; rodless. The rate of duty will be 3.4 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
