RE: The tariff classification of an automotive seat belt part
from Japan
Dear Mr. Brady:
In your letter dated January 18, 1991, on behalf of Takata-
Fisher Corp., you requested a tariff classification ruling. You
have submitted a sample of the seat belt part.
The imported product is a 100 percent polyester automotive
seat belt material (webbing) that is cut to specific size. At
one end the webbing is flat, and at the other end the webbing is
folded and sewn into a loop for the insertion of a steel pin.
The pin is imported with the seat belt webbing. The imported
product forms part of a completed automotive seat belt assembly.
The applicable subheading for the imported automotive seat
belt part (webbing and pin) will be 8708.29.0060, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
other parts and accessories of motor vehicle bodies. The rate of
duty will be 3.1 percent ad valorem.
As you requested, the sample will be returned to your
office.
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
