8708.30.50.90 - Other

HTS Code 8708.30.50.90, described as "Other," within the broader category of "Brakes and servo-brakes; parts thereof" for motor vehicles, serves as a residual classification for brake components that do not fit into more specific subheadings. This classification captures a wide array of brake system parts and accessories intended for use with vehicles covered under headings 8701 through 8705, excluding those explicitly detailed in preceding categories.

This "Other" category is distinguished from its sibling HTS codes by its exclusionary nature. It specifically excludes brake drums (8708.30.50.20), brake rotors or discs (8708.30.50.30), and mounted brake linings (8708.30.50.40). Therefore, goods classified here will be brake system parts and accessories that are not drums, rotors, or linings themselves, but are nonetheless integral to the braking mechanism or its operation for vehicles within the scope of this chapter.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 8708.30.50.90. Examples of items that would fall under this classification could include brake calipers, brake master cylinders, brake slave cylinders, brake fluid reservoirs, brake actuating levers, brake cables, brake boosters (if not separately classified as servo-brakes under 8708.30), and various other specialized components that are undeniably parts of a vehicle's braking system but do not meet the specific criteria of the enumerated sibling HTS codes. Classification into this subheading requires a thorough examination to ensure the item is indeed a part of a brake system and not classifiable elsewhere.
