Frequently asked questions
What is the HS code for car parts and accessories?
Usually 8708 99 00: "Parts and accessories of motor vehicles: other". The last digits can change with material, power or use, and the duty can change with them, so check the full heading against your product before filing.
Are all car parts at 15%?
No. Heading 8708 covers most body and chassis parts, but engines, tyres, batteries, lamps and electrical parts sit in other chapters with different rates. Classify each part by what it is before adding up a mixed shipment.
Does the India–Japan agreement lower duty on parts?
Many auto parts were on India's schedule for reduction under the India–Japan CEPA, but the rate depends on the exact line. The calculator charges the standard rate unless it knows the preferential one; check the CEPA schedule with your broker.
