Dear Coakley:
In your letter dated June 4, 1992, on behalf of your client,
Allied Signal Inc - Garrett Automotive Group, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The items involved in this request consist of complete
turbochargers for use on automotive and diesel engines, as well
as specific parts of such turbochargers. The parts, as
enumerated by your client in a subsequent phone conversation,
would be the turbine wheels (impellers), the body castings (3
parts), and the bronze turbine bushings.
The applicable subheading for the complete turbochargers
will be 8414.59.8040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other fans and blowers, suitable
for use with motor vehicles. The rate of duty will be 4.7
percent ad valorem. The turbine wheels and the turbine body
castings would be classifiable under HTS item 8414.90.1080, which
provides for parts of fans (including blowers), other. The duty
rate is 4.7 percent ad valorem. The bronze bushings are
classified under the subheading covering plain shaft bearings,
other than housed, HTS item 8483.30.8090, with a duty rate of 5.7
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.
