N265157 June 16, 2015 CLA-2-84:OT:RR:NC:N1:102 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 8483.50.9040 Young Bin Oh Hyundai Motor Company 231 Yangjae 2-dong Seocho-gu, Seoul ASI/KR/KS013 Republic of Korea RE: The tariff classification of a Drive Assembly-Fan from South Korea. Dear Ms. Oh: In your letter dated May 27, 2015 you requested a tariff classification ruling. Descriptive literature and illustrations were submitted with your letter. The article in question is described as a Drive Assembly-Fan, part number 25280-45C16, which is part of an engine cooling fan assembly that delivers power. You indicate in your letter that the Drive Assembly-Fan consists of Four main components: 1. The Case-Bearing (Material: FCD450-casting), which is a bracket where the bearing and Shaft-Fan Drive is mounted. It protects the shaft and the bearing and it keeps harmful substances from getting inside the assembly. 2. The Shaft-Fan Drive is the main component, which functions as the central axis of rotation. When the bearing, spacer and Flange-Fan Pulley are assembled, it receives power through the belt and rotates on a central axis. 3. The Bearing helps to smooth the rotation by reducing friction when a body is rotating. 4. The Flange-Fan Pulley receives the transmission of power from an external power source through the belt.
