The item under consideration is a telescopic Cross Shaft for Semi-Trailer Landing Gear. You have provided literature, drawings and photographs. The telescoping square tubing cross shaft joins two dolly legs so when the crank handle on one leg is turned both legs are cranked down.

The three models are TCS4479, TCS2947 and TCS2132. The applicable subheading for the telescopic cross shaft will be 8431.10.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) which provides for … parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machinery of heading 8425: Other. The rate of duty will be Free. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
