Product description
The item at issue is known as a Tyre Safekeeper. It detects reduction in tire pressure used on trucks to alert the driver to the possibility of a flat. There are three components to the system: 1) Display, located in the cab of the truck, monitors the pressure via an electronic transmission, which is signaled to the driver through a beep and identified on the control board by a light. 2) Repeater, located in the trailer, carries the signal from the tires. 3) Sensor, located on every tire of the truck is placed into the valve stem. The sensors are battery powered. We would view this system as an electronic pressure checking device.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the Tyre Safekeeper will be 9026.20.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for measuring or checking pressure, electrical.
