8708.70.45.48 - Other

This HTS category, 8708.70.45.48, encompasses road wheels that are not specifically classified elsewhere within the "Of aluminum" subcategory. These wheels are intended for use as parts and accessories for motor vehicles falling under headings 8701 to 8705. The key distinguishing factor for classification within this specific "Other" designation is the absence of specific size or material attributes that would place them under sibling categories.

This category serves as a residual classification for aluminum road wheels that do not meet the criteria of the sibling category, 8708.70.45.46, which specifically covers wheels having a diameter of at least 57 cm but not more than 63 cm. Therefore, wheels of aluminum that fall outside this defined diameter range, or are not otherwise precisely defined by other HTS provisions, will be classified here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8708.70.45.48 is determined by exclusion from more specific provisions. Importers and exporters should carefully review the physical characteristics and intended application of their aluminum road wheels to ensure they are not more appropriately classified under a narrower HTS code.
