8708.91.75.10 - Radiator cores

This classification encompasses radiator cores specifically designed for use as parts and accessories in motor vehicles falling under headings 8701 to 8705. Radiator cores are the internal components of a radiator responsible for heat exchange, typically consisting of a matrix of tubes and fins through which coolant flows to dissipate heat from the engine. They are essential for maintaining optimal engine operating temperatures.

This category, 8708.91.75.10, is distinguished from its sibling category, 8708.91.75.50, which covers "Other" radiator parts. While this specific heading is dedicated to the core assembly itself, the sibling category would encompass other non-core components or accessories related to the radiator system. The distinction lies in the specific function and physical nature of the component being classified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8708.91.75.10 is final for radiator cores that do not fit into any more specific subdivisions. Importers should ensure that the component's primary function and construction align with the definition of a radiator core for motor vehicles to ensure accurate classification.
