8512.90 - Parts:

HTS code 8512.90 encompasses parts and accessories for electrical lighting or signaling equipment, as well as windshield wipers, defrosters, and demisters, specifically those designed for use with cycles or motor vehicles. This category serves as a catch-all for components not specifically enumerated within the broader headings of 8512, which cover the complete functional units of such equipment.

Unlike its sibling categories 8512.10 through 8512.40, which classify the finished articles themselves (e.g., lighting equipment, sound signaling devices, or wipers), 8512.90 is dedicated solely to the constituent parts. For instance, while 8512.20 classifies complete headlamps for motor vehicles, 8512.90 would cover individual bulbs, lenses, or housings intended for those headlamps. Similarly, parts of sound signaling equipment (like buzzers or sirens) are classified here, whereas the complete signaling device falls under 8512.30.00.

This category is further subdivided to provide more granular classification of these parts. Subcategories exist to differentiate parts specifically for signaling equipment, lighting equipment, and defrosters/demisters. An "Other" subcategory accommodates any remaining parts that do not fit into these more specific breakdowns, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all components within the scope of heading 8512.
