https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=112603 Composite transmission belts containing nylon with leather, rubber or textiles require classification under the General Interpretative Rules where no tariff heading specifically covers the complete product. Because each constituent performs an essential transmission function and no single material gives the belts their essential character, classification follows the heading occurring last in numerical order among the competing headings. Nylon-rubber belts fall under Heading 40.10, nylon-leather belts under Heading 42.01, and nylon-textile belts under Heading 59.08, rather than Heading 39.26. The resulting duty liability remains payable; penalties may be reduced, while later-period matters requiring consideration of exemption-related objections require fresh adjudication. en-us Wed, 01 Sep 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 29 Jun 2024 13:03:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=112603 Composite transmission belts containing nylon with leather, rubber or textiles require classification under the General Interpretative Rules where no tariff heading specifically covers the complete product.
