8708.70.45.30 - For vehicles of subheading 8701.21, 8701.22, 8701.23, 8701.24 or 8701.29 or heading 8702, 8704 or 8705

This HTS category, HTS Code 8708.70.45.30, specifically classifies road wheels and their parts and accessories when they are intended for use with vehicles falling under subheadings 8701.21, 8701.22, 8701.23, 8701.24, or 8701.29, or headings 8702, 8704, or 8705. This includes a broad range of vehicles such as tractors, motor vehicles for the transport of persons, motor vehicles for the transport of goods, and special purpose motor vehicles. The critical factor for classification under this code is the intended application of the road wheel to these specific types of motor vehicles.

Within the broader category of road wheels and their parts and accessories, this particular subheading is distinguished from its sibling category, "Other," by its explicit linkage to the aforementioned vehicle headings. While "Other" might encompass road wheels for less common or specialized applications not precisely defined by the listed vehicle headings, 8708.70.45.30 is dedicated to the more commonly traded wheels for mainstream commercial and industrial vehicles. The classification hinges on a precise determination of the vehicle from which the wheel originates or to which it is intended to be fitted.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within this code requires a thorough examination of the physical characteristics and intended use of the road wheel. This includes considerations such as size, material composition (e.g., steel, alloy), bore size, bolt pattern, and overall design, all of which must align with the specifications of vehicles covered by the parent headings to ensure accurate customs declaration.
