8708.30.10.10 - Mounted brake linings

This classification, 8708.30.10.10, specifically covers mounted brake linings intended for tractors suitable for agricultural use. These are brake components that have been pre-assembled or fitted onto a backing plate or structure, ready for installation. The key defining characteristic for this HTS code is their intended application in agricultural tractors, distinguishing them from general-purpose brake linings or those for other types of vehicles.

This subcategory, "For tractors suitable for agricultural use," is distinguished from its sibling category, 8708.30.10.90, "Other," which would encompass mounted brake linings for agricultural tractors that are not explicitly designed for such use or for other agricultural machinery not classified as a tractor. The specificity of "suitable for agricultural use" is critical for accurate tariff application.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 8708.30.10.10 is therefore based on the direct identification of the mounted brake lining as being designed and configured for use on agricultural tractors. Practical considerations for classification include the physical dimensions, mounting provisions, and material composition typically associated with brake systems found on such machinery.
