7320.10.60 - Other

This HTS category, 7320.10.60, encompasses "Other" leaf springs and their constituent leaves specifically designed for motor vehicle suspension, excluding those explicitly defined in sibling categories. The key determinant for inclusion here is that the springs and leaves do not meet the specific criteria of the preceding classification. This category serves as a residual classification for leaf springs intended for motor vehicle suspension systems that fall outside of more precisely defined parameters.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7320.10.30.00, is crucial. The sibling category specifically covers leaf springs and leaves intended for motor vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) not exceeding 4 metric tons. Therefore, 7320.10.60 will classify leaf springs for motor vehicle suspension where the intended GVW is above 4 metric tons, or where the GVW is not specified or relevant to the classification of the spring itself.

Within this category, further subdivision exists to refine the classification based on the physical characteristics of the leaf springs. The subcategories, 7320.10.60.15 and 7320.10.60.60, differentiate based on the thickness of individual leaves. 7320.10.60.15 addresses leaf springs where individual leaves measure 1.6 mm or more in thickness, along with their corresponding leaves. The residual subcategory, 7320.10.60.60, encompasses all other leaf springs and leaves for motor vehicle suspension not meeting the specific thickness criteria.
