Overview
This HTS classification covers cast-iron parts specifically designed for use with internal combustion engines of heading 8407 or 8408. Crucially, these parts are characterized by their minimal processing; they have been cleaned and machined only to remove casting imperfections such as fins, gates, sprues, and risers, or to prepare them for subsequent machining operations. This limited finishing ensures that the parts are not yet in their final manufactured state but are prepared for further processing.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8409.99.10.60, which specifically applies to parts intended for marine propulsion engines. This current subcategory, 8409.99.10.40, has a broader application, covering cast-iron parts for engines used in vehicles falling under subheadings 8701.21, 8701.22, 8701.23, 8701.24, or 8701.29, or headings 8702, 8703, or 8704.
As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading relies heavily on the specific engine application and the degree of processing of the cast-iron part, ensuring that only minimally machined components are captured here.
