Last updated: April 2026 dataSubject to Section 232 tariffs on automotive parts, clutches and their components for motor vehicles are split at the 10-digit level between agricultural tractor applications (8708931000, 8708931500, 8708933000) and all other vehicles (8708935000, 8708936000, 8708937500), a distinction that directly affects duty treatment and classification. Canada and Mexico dominate supply under this heading, reflecting deeply integrated North American automotive supply chains, with Japan and South Korea also significant sources. Importers should confirm whether a given clutch assembly is destined for an agricultural tractor or a passenger/commercial vehicle, as misclassification between these subheadings is a common audit trigger.

The US tariff schedule carves out clutches and their parts for tractors suitable for agricultural use into dedicated 10-digit lines (8708931000, 8708931500, 8708933000), while clutches for all other motor vehicles fall under separate lines (8708935000, 8708936000, 8708937500). The agricultural-use determination depends on the tractor's design and intended use, not simply its physical configuration.
Automotive parts under heading 870893 may be subject to Section 232 tariffs. Importers should verify current applicability at the 10-digit HTS level, as coverage and any exclusions can vary by specific subheading and country of origin.
