8708.40.11.50 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 8708.40.11.50, specifically classifies "Other" gearboxes intended for use in motor vehicles. Building upon the broader classification of gearboxes for specific vehicle types under subheading 8708.40.11, this category captures those not falling under more granular descriptions. It encompasses gearboxes that are not exclusively for vehicles of heading 8703, but are designed for other motor vehicles such as those falling under subheadings 8701.21 through 8701.29, or headings 8702, 8703 (where not already covered by sibling categories), or 8704. The distinction from the sibling category 8708.40.11.10, which is for gearboxes specifically for vehicles of heading 8703, is crucial; this current category includes gearboxes for a wider range of motor vehicle applications beyond just those primarily designed for passenger transport.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 8708.40.11.50 relies heavily on the precise application and intended vehicle type. Importers and exporters should carefully consult the descriptions and explanatory notes for the referenced headings and subheadings (8701.21-8701.29, 8702, 8703, and 8704) to confirm that the gearbox in question is not more specifically classified elsewhere, either within this HTS 8-digit code or at a higher level of the tariff. The primary consideration is the intended compatibility of the gearbox with the specified classes of motor vehicles.
