HS Code for Vehicle door

Vehicle doors are classified under HS code 8708.29. This classification falls under heading 8708, which encompasses parts and accessories of motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705. Specifically, the code 8708.29 is a residual category for 'other' parts and accessories of bodies (including cabs). While some body parts like safety seat belts have their own specific subheadings (8708.21), doors do not, and thus fall into the 'other' category of 8708.29. To be classified here, the door must be identifiable as a part of a motor vehicle body. This includes the metal or composite shell of the door. The classification remains 8708.29 whether the door is imported as a bare shell or as a 'dressed' door containing internal components like window regulators, locks, and wiring harnesses, provided it is imported as a single unit.

Common Misclassification

One common misclassification is using HS code 8707. Heading 8707 covers the entire body of a vehicle. While a door is a major component of a body, it is considered a 'part of a body' and must be classified in 8708. Another error involves the classification of door glass. If vehicle glass is imported separately, it must be classified under heading 7007 (safety glass). Only when the glass is pre-installed in the door assembly does it stay within 8708.29. Furthermore, door locks and hinges are often confused; if imported separately, they are classified under heading 8301 (locks) or 8302 (hinges and hardware) as 'base metal mountings and fittings' per Section XV, Note 2, which defines 'parts of general use.'
