This publication was prepared by the National Commodity Specialist Division of Regulations and Rulings and provides guidance on the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification of vehicles, parts and accessories. The ICP was first published in May 1997, was revised in February 2001 and January 2004, reviewed with no changes in May 2005 and April 2006, revised in August 2008, and was most recently revised in April 2009.
ICP Revised to Conform to February 3, 2007 HTS Change for Springs of Copper
According to CBP sources, the only change to this revised ICP is an updated HTS heading for Springs of Copper under the section of the ICP entitled, "Parts Provided for Elsewhere."
Specifically, the HTS heading for Springs of Copper has been changed from 7416 to 7415, to reflect the deletion of Heading 7416 under the February 3, 2007 HTS amendments.
ICP Provided for Informational Purposes Only
CBP states that the information provided in this publication is for general information purposes only. CBP cautions that because many complicated factors can be involved in customs issues, an importer may wish to obtain a ruling under CBP Regulations, 19 CFR Part 177, or obtain advice from an expert (such as a licensed Customs Broker, attorney or consultant) who specializes in customs matters. Reliance solely on the general information in this ICP may not be considered reasonable care.
