RE: The tariff classification of a module imported from Canada
Dear Ms. Salter:
In your letter dated July 18, 2025, you requested a tariff classification ruling for a subassembly that will be
installed at the Nanushuk Processing Facility in Alaska. Descriptive information was provided with the
submission.
The Blower subassembly, which will be installed in the 331 B Module, consists of a Divert and Slop Blower
and a motor. The rotary blower is designed to increase the pressure of the low-pressure gas stream that is
received from adjacent tanks. The discharge pressure from the blower is 5.13 pounds per square inch gauge,
and the output of the motor is 29.8 kilowatts.
The applicable subheading for the Blower subassembly will be 8414.59.6595, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans;
ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan, whether or not fitted with filters; gas-tight biological
safety cabinets, whether or not fitted with filters; parts thereof: Fans: Other: Other: Other: Other: Other. The
general rate of duty will be 2.3 percent ad valorem.
Products of Canada as provided by heading 9903.01.10 in Section XXII, Chapter 99, Subchapter III, U.S.
Note 2(j), HTSUS, other than products classifiable under headings 9903.01.11, 9903.01.12, 9903.01.13,
9903.01.14, and 9903.01.15, HTSUS, will be subject to an additional 35 percent ad valorem rate of duty. At
the time of entry, you must report the applicable Chapter 99 heading, i.e. 9903.01.10, in addition to
subheading 8414.59.6595, HTSUS, listed above. Articles that are entered free of duty under the terms of
general note 11 to the HTSUS (U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), including any treatment set forth
in subchapter XXIII of Chapter 98 and subchapter XXII of chapter 99 of the HTSUS, will not be subject to
the additional ad valorem duties provided for in heading 9903.01.10. If your product is entered duty free as
originating under the USMCA, you must report heading 9903.01.14, HTSUS, in addition to subheading
8414.59.6595, HTSUS.
Effective April 5, 2025, Executive Orders implemented “Reciprocal Tariffs.” All imported merchandise must
be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which the reciprocal tariff applies or one of the
Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to the reciprocal tariffs. At this time products from all countries
will be subject to an additional 10 percent ad valorem rate of duty. Your product falls within an excepted
subheading. At the time of entry, you must report the Chapter 99 heading applicable to your product
classification, i.e., 9903.01.26, in addition to subheading 8414.59.6595, HTSUS, listed above.
