Wheel cylinder Hs Code

Wheel cylinder harmonized system code

Product Overview The wheel cylinder classified under HS Code 870830 is a critical hydraulic component used in automotive braking systems, specifically designed to convert hydraulic pressure into mechanical force to actuate brake shoes. Typically fabricated from high-strength cast iron or aluminum alloys, these cylinders feature precision-machined bores and corrosion-resistant seals to ensure durability and reliable performance under varying operating conditions. This product category under HS Code 870830 encompasses various subtypes differentiated by bore diameter, mounting configuration, and application-specific adaptations, including single and dual piston designs. Wheel cylinders are integral components predominantly utilized in commercial vehicles, passenger cars, and light trucks, facilitating effective drum brake operation. Their precise engineering ensures compliance with stringent safety standards, making them indispensable in automotive manufacturing, maintenance, and aftermarket supply chains. The product's design emphasizes compatibility with standardized hydraulic brake systems, offering superior resistance to fluid leakage and mechanical wear, thereby enhancing vehicle safety and operational reliability in diverse geographic markets. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 870830 falls under Chapter 87 (Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock), Heading 8708 (Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles), with the six-digit subheading 870830 specifically designating wheel cylinders. This classification is justified by the product’s role as a non-structural brake system component integral to motor vehicle functionality. International trade of wheel cylinders adheres to standardized packaging protocols, often involving anti-corrosive wrapping and secure crating to prevent mechanical damage and contamination during transit. Preservation methods include the application of rust inhibitors and controlled humidity packaging to maintain product integrity over extended shipping durations. Quality standards for wheel cylinders align with ISO 9001 certification and automotive industry norms such as SAE J1402, ensuring dimensional accuracy, material composition, and hydraulic pressure tolerance meet global regulatory requirements. Compliance with WTO trade facilitation measures and harmonized customs documentation is mandatory to expedite clearance, necessitating precise product description, origin declaration, and adherence to import-export licensing provisions where applicable.

Wheel cylinder 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.
