8511.90.60.40 - Other

This HTS category, 8511.90.60.40, encompasses "Other" parts for electrical ignition or starting equipment used with internal combustion engines, as well as generators and cut-outs associated with such engines. This classification acts as a residual category for components that are not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the 8511.90.60 series. It covers a broad range of parts, including but not limited to, various fasteners, mounting hardware, wiring harnesses, housings, and other miscellaneous components that are integral to the function of ignition and starting systems.

It is crucial to distinguish this "Other" category from its sibling, 8511.90.60.20, which specifically covers distributor contact (breaker point) sets. While both fall under the umbrella of parts for engine electrical systems, 8511.90.60.40 is intended for all such parts that do not fit the description of breaker point sets. If a part is identified as a distributor contact set, it should be classified under the more specific sibling.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 8511.90.60.40 is on ensuring that the part is indeed for the specified electrical ignition, starting equipment, generators, or cut-outs for internal combustion engines and that it is not otherwise specifically provided for under another HTS code, particularly within heading 8511. The purpose and function of the part in relation to the larger assembly are key determining factors.
