Non-Slip Pads
CBP is proposing to reclassify non-slip pads as other articles of plastic under HTSUS 3926.90.99 (5.3 percent duty) rather than as other plastic sheets under HTSUS 3921.12.11 (4.2 percent duty), 3921.12.15 (6.5 percent duty), and 3921.12.19 (5.3 percent duty). Rulings HQ H302153, HQ 088142, HQ 088909, NY PD 816479, NY G83126, NY H86099, NY I83543, NY K82162, NY L86033, NY N033496, and NY N044145 would be revoked to reflect this change.
The products at issue are used under rugs to add cushioning as well as for lining shelves, drawers, and cabinets in the kitchen, bathroom, and garage work areas. They are made of 100 percent warp knitted, polyester open mesh fabric that is visibly coated on both sides with foamed polyvinyl chloride.
Automotive Clutch Tube
CBP is proposing to reclassify an automotive clutch tube as a motor vehicle part under HTSUS 8708.99.81 (2.5 percent duty) rather than as a clutch part under HTSUS 8708.93.75 (2.5 percent duty). Ruling NY 816028 would be revoked to reflect this change.
The product at issue is a zinc and fluorocarbon resin-coated steel tube approximately 15” in “bent-to-shape” length. The tube is part of the transmission system and its purpose is to carry hydraulic fluid from the slave cylinder to the clutch pressure plate.
