RE:  The tariff classification of steel wire wheel nipples from Japan.  

Dear Mr. Riddle:

       This is in response to a request for a tariff classification ruling, on behalf of Imperial Industries, Inc, dated November 21, 1995.
	     
      The sample submitted is an steel nipple which is approximately 7/8 of an inch long and approximately a 1/4 inch in diameter.  The nipple has a 8.7mm threaded hole bored through its length and the base of the nipple is slotted .  The nipple is inserted into the hub of a wire tire wheel and a wire spoke is then threaded into the nipple thereby connecting the spoke to the hub.  When all the spokes are connected to the hub the nipples are covered by a plastic belt which keeps them in place. 
           
        The provision applicable to the nipples is 7318.19.0000, HTS , which provides for Screws,bolts nuts...... and similar articles, of iron or steel: Threaded articles: Other.  The rate of duty is 5.7 percent ad valorem.
     
        This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

          A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist John Fitzgerald at 212-466-5492.
