Headings: 8433
Product description
You submitted drawings with your request. The article in question is an engine bracket assembly used with gasoline engines for use in small gasoline-powered lawnmowers. The bracket assembly acts as an engine brake by halting flywheel movement. The bracket assembly is made of metal and is connected by cable to a wire bale running parallel to the lawnmower handle. When the mower operator releases the bale, tension from a spring within the bracket assembly forces a pad on the bracket against the engine flywheel, ceasing its movement within three seconds. The lawnmowers at issue here are lawnmowers used for lawns, parks and so on.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the engine bracket assembly for lawnmowers will be 8433.90.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for parts of mowers for lawns, parks or sports grounds.
