8511.90.60.20 - Distributor contact (breaker point) sets

This HTS classification, 8511.90.60.20, specifically covers distributor contact (breaker point) sets. These are essential components within the ignition system of internal combustion engines, responsible for interrupting the flow of current to the ignition coil at the correct moment, thereby creating the spark needed for combustion. This category is distinct from other "parts" within 8511.90 by its specific identification as breaker point sets, which perform a unique and critical function in the ignition sequence.

Unlike the sibling category 8511.90.60.40, which is designated for "Other" parts of ignition or starting equipment, this classification is for a precisely defined component. Therefore, items classified under 8511.90.60.20 will be exclusively breaker point sets and their immediate assemblies, whereas the "Other" category would encompass any remaining parts that do not fit into the more specific subheadings within this chapter. As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce, meaning all breaker point sets meeting the criteria would fall directly under this code.
