Brake disc Hs Code

Brake disc harmonized system code

Product Overview Brake discs, classified under HS Code 870830, are essential automotive components designed to provide frictional force for vehicle braking systems. These precision-engineered discs are typically manufactured from high-grade cast iron or composite materials, featuring stringent dimensional tolerances to ensure consistent rotor thickness, surface flatness, and thermal conductivity. Brake discs under 870830 encompass various subcategories, including ventilated, solid, and coated types, each optimized for specific performance parameters such as heat dissipation, wear resistance, and noise reduction. This product class serves primarily the automotive aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sectors, facilitating efficient vehicle deceleration and safety across passenger cars, commercial trucks, and motorcycles. The strategic value of these brake discs lies in their compliance with international quality standards, durability under high thermal stress, and compatibility with diverse braking systems, thereby positioning them competitively in global supply chains. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 870830 is structured as follows: Chapter 87 covers “Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock, and parts and accessories thereof”; Heading 8708 pertains specifically to “Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705”; and Subheading 870830 designates “Brakes and servo-brakes; parts thereof.” Brake discs are classified within this subheading due to their integral role in braking assemblies, aligning with WTO harmonized system definitions. Packaging for international shipment typically involves corrosion-resistant materials and secure crating to prevent mechanical damage, with preservation methods including anti-rust coatings and desiccants to maintain product integrity. Shipping conditions often require adherence to specific weight limits and stacking protocols to comply with transport regulations. Quality standards referenced include ISO 6312 for brake disc performance and SAE J431 for material properties, ensuring conformity with customs documentation and facilitating smooth cross-border trade operations. These specifications support accurate tariff classification and regulatory compliance in global markets.

Brake disc Chapter Note

1.- This Chapter does not cover railway or tramway rolling-stock designed solely for running on rails. 2.- For the purposes of this Chapter, “tractors” means vehicles constructed essentially for hauling or pushing another vehicle, appliance or load, whether or not they contain subsidiary provision for the transport, in connection with the main use of the tractor, of tools, seeds, fertilisers or other goods. Machines and working tools designed for fitting to tractors of heading 87.01 as interchangeable equipment remain classified in their respective headings even if presented with the tractor, and whether or not mounted on it. 3.- Motor chassis fitted with cabs fall in headings 87.02 to 87.04, and not in heading 87.06. 4.- Heading 87.12 includes all children's bicycles. Other children's cycles fall in heading 95.03.
