8708.10.60.10 - Stampings

This HTS category, 8708.10.60.10, specifically covers stamped metal components intended for use in the construction or repair of vehicle bumpers. These stampings are characterized by their formation through pressing or stamping metal sheets into specific shapes and contours that form integral parts of a bumper assembly. The classification emphasizes the manufacturing process and the intended function of these parts as foundational elements for bumpers.

While the parent category encompasses various parts of bumpers, this subcategory distinguishes itself by focusing solely on stampings. It differentiates from its sibling, 8708.10.60.50 "Other," which would include bumper parts that are not solely stampings, such as plastic covers, reinforcing bars not produced by stamping, or fasteners that do not fit the definition of a stamping. The key differentiator lies in the method of manufacture and the resulting form of the component.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 8708.10.60.10 requires that the component is a stamped metal part specifically designed and identifiable for inclusion in vehicle bumpers. Examples could include stamped steel or aluminum bumper beams, stamped filler panels, or stamped brackets that are specifically formed through a stamping process to be part of the bumper structure.
