The plastic component, part numbers M0073 (Black) and M0074 (Red), is called a Dial Nest. This plastic product is being imported as a single injection mold plastic part that when combined with multiple Dial Nests will serve as a means of holding paint containers in an indexing circular wheel of a paint dispensing machine. After importation, twelve Dial Nests will be assembled onto a stainless steel dial wheel to form a circular pattern. The dial wheel will become a part of the automotive paint dispensing machine which will hold paint containers in place while the machine dispenses the paint. The applicable subheading for the Dial Nests, part numbers M0073 (Black) and M0074 (Red), will be 8479.90.9496, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof: Parts: Other: Other: Other.
