Zisser 2155 Paseo De Las Americas San Diego, CA 92713 RE: The tariff classification of a Single Lid Truck Box, Crown Gull Wing Crossover Box, and Crown Utility Box from Mexico Dear Mr. Zisser: In your letter dated October 30, 1998 you requested a tariff classification ruling. You submitted company catalogs depicting various aluminum truck boxes produced in a variety of sizes to fit different truck models.

Once installed, a truck box becomes an integral and permanent part of a truck and is not moved from place to place.
