NY F83566 March 27, 2000 CLA-2-87:RR:NC:MM:101 F83566 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 8708.29.5060 Mr. Richard Haslacher Lofty Sheleters 444 Lassen St. #3 Los Altos, California 94022 RE: The tariff classification of a Fiberglass and Cloth Carrier for the Roof of a Car from Italy Dear Mr. Haslacher: In your letter dated February 17, 2000 you requested a tariff classification ruling. You submitted fabric samples and brochures depicting various styles of a Fiberglass and Cloth Carrier for the Roof of a Car. This item opens up to provide a place to sleep above the ground. You state that you refer to it as a tent for marketing reasons but that it is not designed for use on the ground but rather to increase the functionality of a car or truck. The products are designed to be used above the roof of a car. The Maggiolina, Columbus, and Over Camp models are designed for storage of camping equipment when in transit. The top must remain closed while in motion. There is a seal between the two fiberglass shells that keep water and dirt from entering. When the vehicle is parked, a person can open the Maggiolina or Columbus, take out the ladder and camping gear and use it as a protected place to sleep. The applicable subheading for the Fiberglass and Cloth Carrier for the Roof of a Car will be 8708.29.5060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705: Other parts and accessories of bodies (including cabs): Other: Other…Other. The rate of duty will be 2.5% ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). 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.
