Overview
This HTS classification, 8607.19.15.00, specifically pertains to parts of wheels used for railway or tramway locomotives and rolling stock, excluding complete wheels whether or not fitted with axles. This category encompasses individual components that, when assembled, form a complete wheel structure for such vehicles. Examples include wheel rims, hubs, spokes, and other structural elements designed to be integral parts of a railway or tramway wheel.
The key distinction from its sibling category, 8607.19.12.00 ("Wheels, whether or not fitted with axles"), lies in the completeness of the wheel. While 8607.19.12.00 covers fully assembled wheels, this subcategory focuses solely on the individual constituent parts of those wheels. Therefore, if a component is merely a part that requires further assembly to form a functional wheel, it will fall under this classification rather than the one for complete wheels.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level requires careful examination of the imported item to confirm it is a distinct part of a railway or tramway wheel and not a complete wheel assembly. The absence of axles fitted within the wheel is also a defining characteristic for inclusion here.
