Sept 7 CBP Bulletin Withdraws Revocation of 3 Rulings on Motorized Vehicles

In the September 7, 2011 issue of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Bulletin (Vol. 45, No. 37), CBP published a notice stating that it is withdrawing its revocation of three rulings concerning the tariff classification of motorized utility vehicles under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. CBP is also withdrawing its intent to revoke any treatment previously accorded by CBP to substantially identical transactions.

CBP states that the final notice of revocation that was published in the August 24, 2011 edition of the Customs Bulletin (Vol. 45, No. 35) was made in error. CBP is therefore withdrawing the notice of revocation of HQ 965246, HQ 964598, and NY H87834 as well as the accompanying rulings, HQ W968312 and HQ W968313.

(The final notice of revocation classified certain motorized utility vehicles under subheading 8704.31.00 as motor vehicles for the transport of goods (25% duty rate) instead of as works trucks under subheading 8709.19.00 (duty-free).
