Overview

This HTS category, 8512.40.40.00, specifically covers windshield wipers designed for use on cycles and motor vehicles. These devices are mechanical or electro-mechanical assemblies intended to clear precipitation and debris from a vehicle's windshield to improve visibility. The classification encompasses the entire wiper assembly, including the blade, arm, and motor or actuating mechanism if integrated.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8512.40.20.00, which classifies defrosters and demisters. While both are automotive components related to windshield clearing, windshield wipers are designed for the mechanical removal of surface contaminants, whereas defrosters and demisters are typically electrical heating elements or air-blowing systems that address ice, frost, and condensation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8512.40.40.00 relies on the specific function and application of the item as a windshield wiper for vehicles, differentiating it from other electrical lighting or signaling equipment falling under heading 8512.
