RE:  The tariff classification of electric power parking mechanisms from Australia

Dear Mr. Ingrao:

     In your letter dated July 18, 1996, on behalf of Britax Rainsfords, Inc., you
requested a tariff classification ruling.

     The merchandise is an electric power parking mechanism. The item is to be
built into the exterior mirror of a motor vehicle to fold the mirror against the side of
the vehicle when it is parked. The device consists of a DC electric motor, with
switching and servo-gear mechanisms. The motor is rated a 1 Watt.

     The applicable subheading for the electric power parking mechanisms will be
8501.10.4060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for electric motors, of under 18.65 W, DC, other.  The rate of duty will be
5.7 percent 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.  If you have
any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist James Smyth
