Dear Ms. Flood: In your letter dated November 11, 2016 you requested a tariff classification ruling. Descriptive literature and a sample were submitted. The sample is being returned to you. The Top Centralizer Assembly, part number 36089, is used with a submersible pump and its function is to apply compression on the pump’s set of diffusers that are also identified as the pump stack. The centralizer is circular in shape and is designed to mate with the pump’s housing. The product has radial arms or spokes and in between the spokes are openings that allow for fluid to travel through. The centralizer includes an inner ring that supports the spokes. It is through the inner ring’s central opening that the pump shaft enters and passes through the centralizer. The applicable subheading for the Top Centralizer Assembly, part number 36089, will be 8413.91.9080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, which provides for other parts of pumps. The rate of duty is Free. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
