At the end of the wires is an electrical plug that is to be attached to a wiring harness. The element will be placed between the seat cover and the seat cushion. A separate switch on the center console will adjust the heat.

The applicable subheading for the seat heating element will be 8516.80.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for electrical heating resistors, other. The rate of duty will be 0.8 percent ad valorem. The rate of duty beginning January 1, 1999 will be free.

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist James Smyth at 212-466-2084.
