8708.29.15.00 - Door assemblies

This HTS category, 8708.29.15.00, specifically classifies "Door assemblies" for motor vehicles. This encompasses complete door units, including their frames, panels, and potentially pre-assembled components such as hinges, locks, window mechanisms, and interior trim, designed as integral parts of the vehicle's body structure. The primary function is to provide access and enclosure for the vehicle's cabin.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 8708.29.51 ("Other"), which serves as a residual category for parts and accessories of vehicle bodies that do not fit into more specific subheadings. Therefore, 8708.29.15.00 applies to the comprehensive door assembly itself, rather than individual, non-assembled components or other miscellaneous body parts.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level requires careful consideration of whether the imported item constitutes a complete door assembly ready for installation, or if it comprises individual components that might fall under a different, more specific subheading for parts. The completeness and intended function as a primary vehicle door unit are key classification criteria.
