RE: The tariff classification of a rubber wheel from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. O'Leary:
In your letter dated June 16, 1994, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The wheel is composed of natural rubber and has a plastic hub.
The wheel will be used on luggage.
The applicable subheading for the rubber wheel will be
4016.99.3500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of vulcanized rubber other
than hard rubber: of natural rubber, other. The rate of duty will
be 4.2 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
