RE: The tariff classification of an Aluminum Wheel Rim and Tire Assembly from Japan

Dear Ms. Stoehr:

In your letter dated April 3, 2003 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You state that this assembly is for the Toyota Prius model and is being imported solely for an auto show. You state that Toyota does not import wheel rim and tire assemblies to be incorporated in its automobile production.

The radial tire size is 195/55 R 16. The aluminum wheel’s diameter is 18 inches.

The applicable subheading for the Aluminum Wheel Rim and Tire Assembly will be 8708.70.4545, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705: Road wheels and parts and accessories thereof: For other vehicles: Road wheelsOther: Of aluminum.
