Product classification

HS code for Vehicle door: 8708.29

Vehicles, parts and accessories, of bodies, other than safety seat belts.

Classification of vehicle door under HS 8708.29

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.

Codes often confused with 8708.29

Common mistake. 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.'

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
