About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification pertains to drive axles specifically designed for motor vehicles, which incorporate a differential. These components are responsible for transmitting power from the transmission to the wheels, enabling the vehicle to move and steer. The inclusion of "whether or not provided with other transmission components" signifies that assemblies containing additional elements like U-joints, driveshafts, or transfer cases, in addition to the drive axle and differential, are also classified here, provided the drive axle and differential are the principal character of the assembly.

Within the broader category of "Drive-axles with differential, whether or not provided with other transmission components, and non-driving axles," this specific heading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 8708.50.65.00, which exclusively covers non-driving axles. Non-driving axles are structural components that support the vehicle's weight and facilitate steering but do not transmit power to the wheels. Therefore, the key differentiator is the presence and function of the differential as part of the power transmission system.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. The scope is precisely defined to encompass all drive axles with differentials, regardless of whether they are sold as standalone units or as part of a more integrated transmission assembly, as long as the drive axle with differential remains the core identified component. This ensures that all such functional drive axles for motor vehicles, excluding those for railway or tramway rolling stock, are correctly classified.
