8512.90.90.00 - Other 🖩

HTS Code 8512.90.90.00, "Other," serves as a residual category for parts of electrical lighting or signaling equipment, windshield wipers, defrosters, and demisters, as defined in heading 8512, which are not specifically enumerated in other subheadings within 8512.90. This classification captures components and accessories that do not fit into the more specific "Of signaling equipment," "Of lighting equipment," or "Of defrosters and demisters" categories.

This "Other" category is distinct from its siblings. 8512.90.20.00 specifically covers parts associated with signaling devices, such as turn signal components or brake light mechanisms. Similarly, 8512.90.70.00 is designated for parts of defrosters and demisters, including heating elements or fan components unique to these functions. The classification for "Of lighting equipment" (which is a parent to this node at the HTS database level) would cover parts directly related to vehicle or cycle lamps, such as lamp housings or bulb mounts.

As HTS Code 8512.90.90.00 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on whether a part for articles of heading 8512 does not fall under the more specific part categories. Examples might include general mounting hardware, wiring harnesses not specific to signaling or lighting, or universal fasteners used across various components of these systems, provided they are not otherwise classifiable. The principle of "selectivity" in HTS classification dictates that if a part can be more specifically classified under another subheading, it should be. This category is for those parts that do not meet the criteria for more specific designations.
