Last updated: August 2026 dataRear-view mirrors for vehicles—covering both interior and exterior units—are a precision automotive component subject to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) that govern reflectivity, field of view, and mounting integrity. The heading encompasses flat, convex, and electrochromic (auto-dimming) mirror assemblies, with electrochromic units carrying higher unit values and more complex supply chains. Section 301 tariffs have affected imports of vehicle mirrors from China, making supplier diversification and first-sale valuation strategies relevant considerations for automotive parts importers.

Yes. Rear-view mirrors installed on motor vehicles sold in the US must comply with applicable FMVSS requirements. Importers and vehicle manufacturers bear responsibility for ensuring compliance; CBP may coordinate with NHTSA on noncompliant shipments.
Both standard reflective and electrochromic auto-dimming mirrors for vehicles fall within this heading. However, electrochromic units incorporate electronic components; if the electronic assembly is the essential character, classification could shift to a different heading. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for complex mirror assemblies.
