Descriptive information was provided with your submission. The receiver dryer is described as a steel capsule filter that captures moisture once installed into the lines of an air conditioning system. The cylindrical dryer consists of desiccant material positioned between two steel plates and filter material. The filter also features three plastic caps located on its inlet and outlet. The caps protect the filter from contamination. The aluminum coil is referred to as an evaporator coil. The rectangular shaped coil is intended to interconnect with an inlet manifold and an expansion valve that completes a system that heats and cools spaces within utility trucks, ambulances, cranes, and similar vehicles. The applicable subheading for the receiver dryer will be 8421.29.0065, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus, for liquids or gases; parts thereof: Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for liquids: Other: Other: Other: Other. The general rate of duty will be free.

The general rate of duty will be 1.4 percent ad valorem. The tariffs and additional duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance.

This includes, but is not limited to, tariffs and other duties as provided for in Subchapter III to Chapter 99, HTSUS. Thus, for example, in addition to the classification stated above, the merchandise covered by this ruling may also need to be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which an additional tariff applies or one of the Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to such tariffs.
