Overview
This HTS category, 8709.90.00.10, specifically covers individual road wheels designed for use with self-propelled works trucks and tractors as described in heading 8709. These are the basic wheel components, typically comprising the rim and spokes or disc, but excluding the tire. The primary function of these wheels is to provide the means of locomotion and support for the vehicles in question, which are utilized for short-distance transport of goods in industrial or logistical settings.
It is crucial to distinguish these individual road wheels from the sibling category, 8709.90.00.20, which covers "Wheel and tire assemblies." While this current classification is for the wheel itself, the sibling category encompasses the wheel combined with a pneumatic tire that is already mounted onto the wheel rim. Therefore, the key differentiator lies in whether the tire is included as part of the classification.
As a leaf node, this category has no further subcategories. Classification under 8709.90.00.10 is reserved for the bare wheel component, ready to have a tire mounted or intended for use with a specific type of tire that may be classified separately. If the goods consist of the wheel and tire integrated as a functional unit, classification under the "Wheel and tire assemblies" category would be more appropriate.
