About HS Code 851190

This HS code is crucial for the maintenance, repair, and manufacturing of all ignition and starting equipment covered under heading 8511. It encompasses a vast array of individual components, from brushes and armatures for starter motors to caps and rotors for distributors, and internal components for alternators and ignition coils. International trade in these parts supports the global automotive aftermarket, heavy equipment repair, and OEM assembly lines. Exporters are often specialized component manufacturers, while importers include distributors, repair shops, and vehicle manufacturers worldwide. Quality, precise fitment, and material specifications are paramount, as these small parts are essential for the reliable operation and longevity of complex engine systems, contributing significantly to the global supply chain for automotive and industrial machinery.

Products Under This Code

Starter motor brushes, alternator rectifiers, ignition coil windings, distributor O-rings, spark plug wires, magneto condensers, starter solenoid repair kits, glow plug relays, alternator pulleys.
