7320.10.60.15 - Leaf springs having individual leaves with a thickness of 1.6 mm or more and leaves therefor

This HTS category, 7320.10.60.15, specifically classifies leaf springs and their individual leaves that are suitable for motor vehicle suspension systems. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is that the individual leaves comprising the spring must have a thickness of 1.6 millimeters or greater. This distinction is critical for proper tariff classification, ensuring that only springs meeting this specific dimensional criterion are categorized here.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 7320.10.60.60, which covers "Other" leaf springs and leaves therefor. The primary differentiating factor lies in the leaf thickness. While the sibling category would encompass leaf springs for motor vehicle suspension where individual leaves are less than 1.6 mm thick, this node is reserved for those with leaves meeting or exceeding that specified thickness. This granularity in classification allows for precise tariff application based on manufacturing specifications and potentially different import duties.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification concludes at this point for leaf springs meeting the specified criteria. Practical classification relies heavily on verifying the physical dimensions of the individual spring leaves to ensure accurate duty assessment and compliance with import regulations.
