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 category, HTS Code 8708.99.81.60, specifically classifies cable traction devices. These are components used within motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705 that are designed to transmit force or motion through the use of cables, such as accelerator cables, clutch cables, or brake cables for parking brakes. The primary function of these devices is to facilitate the mechanical operation of various vehicle systems through the controlled movement of cables.

Unlike sibling categories that cover specific items like plastic brake hoses with fittings (8708.99.81.05), double-flanged wheel hub units without ball bearings (8708.99.81.15), or slide-in campers (8708.99.81.30), this classification is for the cable control mechanisms themselves. It distinguishes itself by focusing on the devices that operate these cables, rather than the cables or other distinct vehicle accessories. The residual category for "Other" parts and accessories at this level (8708.99.81.80) is reserved for items not specifically enumerated elsewhere.

As a leaf node within the HTS, HTS Code 8708.99.81.60 does not have further subcategories. Classification under this code is determined by the specific function of transmitting motive force or control via a cable system within the motor vehicles covered by headings 8701 to 8705. Items that do not fit the descriptions of the other enumerated siblings will be classified here if they serve as cable traction devices.
