8302.30 - Other mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for motor vehicles; and parts thereof:

This HTS category, 8302.30, specifically encompasses **other mountings, fittings, and similar articles that are suitable for motor vehicles, along with their constituent parts.** This designation differentiates it from other headings within 8302. For instance, it is distinct from 8302.10 which covers hinges, 8302.20 for castors, 8302.50 for hat racks and brackets, and 8302.60 for automatic door closers. The key differentiator here is the intended application: goods classified under 8302.30 must be designed for use in the construction, repair, or customization of motor vehicles.

The classification further refines these motor vehicle-specific items by considering their material composition. The subcategories distinguish between articles primarily manufactured from **iron or steel, or from aluminum or zinc** (8302.30.30), and those made from **other materials** (8302.30.60.00). This allows for precise tariff application based on the predominant base metal used in the product. Examples within this category could include specialized brackets for vehicle interiors, mountings for exterior accessories, or various fittings designed to be integrated into a vehicle's coachwork.
