Classification checks for other motor-vehicle parts
HS 870899 is a residual provision for motor-vehicle parts and accessories not covered by a more specific 8708 subheading. Identifiable parts can move to their own headings or subheadings.
- What vehicle is the part solely or principally used with?
- Is there a more specific heading for the article?
- Is it a complete part, an accessory or general-purpose hardware?

Change the shipment values or origin
The estimator can compare the base line with any imported preference or trade-measure evidence.
You will need the product, the country you are importing into, where the goods are from, the goods value, and any shipping or insurance costs you want included.
Most duty is a percentage of value. Some products use weight, quantity or volume; those parts are shown as not priced until the required unit can be calculated.
How this was worked out
Duty basis: loading duty data.
VAT/GST basis: loading VAT/GST data
Extra duties are included only where the available data matches this product and route.
Estimate only. Duty and VAT/GST are calculated where the available rate data supports it; unpriced fees, exemptions, quotas, or eligibility rules can still change the final customs bill.
