About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS subcategory, 8708.99.81.05, specifically covers brake hoses crafted from plastic materials that are already fitted with the necessary connectors or couplings. These hoses are integral components of a vehicle's braking system, designed to transmit hydraulic pressure. The key classification criteria here are the material of the hose (plastic) and the presence of pre-attached fittings, ensuring immediate applicability in vehicle assembly or repair.

While other items exist at the 8708.99.81 level, this category is distinct. For instance, it does not encompass mechanical components like double-flanged wheel hub units (8708.99.81.15), recreational vehicle attachments such as slide-in campers (8708.99.81.30), or specialized vehicle accessories like cable traction devices (8708.99.81.60). The focus remains exclusively on flexible fluid conduits for braking systems made of plastic and pre-assembled.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 8708.99.81.05 is final once the criteria of being a plastic brake hose with attached fittings are met. This ensures a precise and unambiguous categorization for these essential vehicle parts within the broader scope of "Other parts and accessories" for vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705.
