Dear Mr. Zekser:

In your letter dated July 15, 1996, on behalf of Standard Motor Products, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

As indicated by the submitted samples, there are four types of switches identified as DS-117 Door Jamb Switch; DS-120 Push-Pull Switch; DS-228 Slide Switch; 22-501 Push Button Switch. These switches are intended for use in automobiles.

The applicable tariff provision for the DS-117 Door Jamb Switch and the 22-501 Push Button Switch will be 8536.50.8035, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for other electrical switches, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V: push button: rated at over 5A. The applicable tariff provision for the DS-228 Slide Switch will be 8536.50.8050, HTSUSA, which provides for other electrical switches, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V: slide. The applicable tariff provision for the DS-120 Push-Pull Switch will be 8536.50.8060, which provides for other electrical switches, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 V: other. The general rate of duty for all switches will be 4.3 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 177).
