7320.10.90.15 - Leaf springs having individual leaves with a thickness of 1.6 mm or more and leaves therefor 🖩

This HTS classification covers leaf springs and their individual leaves specifically manufactured from iron or steel, where each individual leaf possesses a thickness of 1.6 millimeters or greater. This category is designated for such springs and their components when they do not fall under more specific subheadings. Examples include heavy-duty leaf springs used in commercial vehicles, industrial machinery, or certain agricultural equipment where the substantial thickness of the leaves indicates a requirement for significant load-bearing capacity and durability.

Within the broader category of "Leaf springs and leaves therefor," this specific subheading is distinguished from potential "other" categories by its precise physical criterion: the minimum leaf thickness of 1.6 mm. While other leaf spring classifications might exist for lighter-duty applications or different material compositions, this code isolates those designed for robust performance indicated by their thicker constituent leaves.

As this is a terminal node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the primary focus for classification under this code is the strict adherence to the defined physical characteristics of the leaf springs and their leaves, specifically the minimum thickness requirement of 1.6 mm. If a leaf spring or its constituent leaves meet this thickness criterion and are made of iron or steel, they should be classified here, assuming no more specific subheading applies at a higher level.
