RE: The tariff classification of a mechanic's creeper from
Taiwan.
Dear Mr. O'Neill:
In your letter dated December 8, 1989 you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Builders Square.
The mechanic's creeper is a molded, reinforced plastic
vehicle which is used by mechanics to slide their bodies under
vehicles to effect repairs.
The applicable subheading for the mechanic's creeper will be
8716.80.5050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other non self propelled vehicles. The
rate of duty will be 3.2 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
Area Director
