8708.93 - Clutches and parts thereof:

HTS code 8708.93 specifically classifies clutches and their constituent parts for motor vehicles covered under headings 8701 through 8705. This category encompasses all components that form the clutch system, enabling the engagement and disengagement of power between the engine and the transmission. Examples include clutch discs, pressure plates, release bearings, and associated actuation mechanisms.

This classification is distinct from its siblings by its exclusive focus on the clutch mechanism. For instance, 8708.91 covers radiators, 8708.92 pertains to mufflers and exhaust systems, and 8708.94 deals with steering components. While all these fall under "Other parts and accessories" for motor vehicles, 8708.93 is reserved solely for the components responsible for clutch function.

The subcategories within 8708.93 further refine classification based on the intended application of the clutch. The first subcategory is for clutches and parts thereof intended for tractors specifically designed for agricultural use. The second subcategory covers clutches and their components designed for all other types of motor vehicles within the scope of headings 8701 to 8705. This distinction is crucial for determining applicable duty rates and trade regulations.
