Window regulator Hs Code

Window regulator harmonized system code

Product Overview A window regulator classified under HS Code 870829 is a mechanical assembly integral to automotive door systems, facilitating the controlled movement of vehicle windows. This component typically comprises a combination of metal linkages, cables, and gear mechanisms, engineered for durability and precision. Window regulators under this classification are manufactured through advanced metal stamping, casting, and assembly processes, ensuring compliance with automotive quality standards such as ISO/TS 16949. The product exhibits key physical specifications including load capacity ranging from 10 to 30 kilograms and operational stroke lengths tailored to vehicle door dimensions. Within HS Code 870829, subcategories distinguish between manual and electric window regulators, with variations for front and rear door applications. Commercially, these regulators are essential in automotive manufacturing, aftermarket vehicle repair, and component supply chains, supporting the mobility and safety functions of passenger and commercial vehicles. Their market positioning is defined by high reliability, compatibility with diverse vehicle models, and adherence to stringent regulatory requirements, offering importers and exporters a standardized product suitable for global automotive trade. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications HS Code 870829 falls under Chapter 87 (Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock), Heading 8708 (Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705), and is specifically designated for window regulators and their components. The classification rationale is based on the product’s function as an automotive part designed explicitly for window operation mechanisms, differentiating it from other vehicle parts by its mechanical design and application. Trade professionals handling this product typically adhere to packaging standards involving corrosion-resistant materials, such as sealed plastic wrapping combined with reinforced cardboard cartons, to prevent damage during transit. Preservation methods often include anti-rust coatings or desiccants to maintain part integrity over extended shipping durations. Shipping requirements emphasize secure immobilization within containers to mitigate mechanical stress. Quality standards conform to international automotive industry norms, including dimensional tolerances within ±0.1 mm and endurance testing exceeding 50,000 operational cycles, ensuring compliance with WTO trade facilitation agreements and customs documentation protocols. This classification supports accurate tariff application, customs clearance, and international trade compliance.

Window regulator 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.
