RE: The tariff classification of hydraulic fluid power pumps from
Ireland
Dear Mr. Newman:
In your letter dated July 16, 1993 you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
There are two types of pumps involved in this request. The first hydraulic
pump is designed for installation inside the transmission housing of a tractor.
The pump provides hydraulic pressure to operate the link arms at the back of the
tractor. The second unit is also known as a power steering pump. These pumps
provide pressurized hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder is
connected via a tie rod to the front wheels of the tractor and reduces the amount
of steering effort. These pumps are also mounted in or on the transmission.
The applicable subheading for both of the hydraulic pumps will be
8413.60.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other rotary positive displacement pumps; hydraulic fluid power
pumps. The rate of duty will be 3 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
