Overview
This HTS category, 8708.50.93.00, specifically classifies parts of drive-axles with differential, or non-driving axles, that are intended for "other vehicles" falling within the scope of headings 8701 through 8705. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that these axle components are manufactured from cast iron. This material composition is the primary differentiator for classification at this granular level.
The "Of cast iron" designation serves to distinguish these parts from similar axle components made from other materials, such as steel or aluminum, which would be classified elsewhere within the broader 8708.50.93 heading or its potential subheadings if they existed. This level of specificity is crucial for accurate tariff assessment, ensuring that the correct duty rates and trade regulations are applied based on the material content of the imported axle parts.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 8708.50.93.00 is finalized upon meeting the criteria of being a part of a drive or non-driving axle, destined for vehicles under headings 8701-8705, and being explicitly manufactured from cast iron. Examples of goods that would fall here include cast iron differential housings, cast iron axle shafts, or cast iron hub assemblies for these types of vehicles.
