Overview

This HTS category, 9029.90.80.40, specifically covers parts and accessories designed for use with speedometers and tachometers. These instruments are crucial for measuring and displaying rotational speed, typically found in vehicles, engines, and industrial machinery. The classification applies to components such as casings, internal gears, electrical sensors, indicator needles, and any other item that is integral to the functioning of a speedometer or tachometer, but not the complete instrument itself.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9029.90.80.80 "Other," is key. While 9029.90.80.80 encompasses parts and accessories for all other devices within heading 9029 (revolution counters, taximeters, odometers, etc.), this specific subcategory is exclusively for those intended for speedometers and tachometers. Therefore, the classification hinges on the intended application of the part or accessory; if it is designed to be incorporated into a speedometer or tachometer, it falls under 9029.90.80.40.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this heading for parts and accessories relies on identifying the specific function and design of the component. For instance, a speedometer cable would be classified here, whereas a general-purpose electronic sensor that could be used in multiple applications might require further analysis and could potentially fall under the "Other" category if its primary use with speedometers/tachometers cannot be definitively established.
