8708.94.70.00 - Of cast iron

This HTS category, 8708.94.70.00, specifically classifies parts for steering wheels, steering columns, and steering boxes that are made of cast iron and are intended for use in vehicles other than those explicitly covered by the "Other" sibling category. The "Of cast iron" designation is the primary defining characteristic, focusing on the material composition of these critical steering system components. Examples within this classification would include cast iron steering wheel hubs, cast iron housings for steering columns, or cast iron steering box casings.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 8708.94.75 ("Other"), which would encompass parts for steering wheels, columns, and boxes that are *not* made of cast iron. Therefore, when classifying a steering component, the material of construction is the key differentiator. If the part is cast iron, it falls here; if it's made of other materials such as steel, aluminum, or plastic, it would likely be classified under the "Other" sibling.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 8708.94.70.00. This means that all cast iron parts of steering wheels, steering columns, and steering boxes for "other vehicles" (meaning those not specifically enumerated or falling into a more specific sub-heading) will be classified directly under this code, provided they meet the material and functional criteria. The scope is limited to these specific components and their cast iron composition.
