Frequently Asked Questions
What are the specific requirements for importing automotive rear-view mirrors (HTS 700910) into the United States?
Mirrors for vehicles imported into the U.S. must comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 111, which specifies performance requirements for rearview mirrors, including field of view and breakaway standards. You must be prepared to provide documentation, such as a manufacturer's self-certification or test reports, demonstrating compliance with this regulation to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
For automotive rear-view mirrors classified under HTS 700910, how does the frame material (e.g., plastic vs. metal) affect the classification or applicability of the heading?
Heading 7009.10 specifically covers rear-view mirrors for vehicles, regardless of frame material (plastic, metal, etc.), as the classification is based on the mirror's function and the presence of the glass optical element. The material of the frame or housing is not determinative for this heading, provided the essential character is that of a glass mirror assembled for automotive use.
Alternative / Confused Classifications for Automotive Mirrors
Automotive mirrors are most precisely classified under HTS 7009.10. However, they are sometimes incorrectly declared under HTS 8708.29, which is a broader basket provision for "Other parts and accessories... for motor vehicles." Using 8708.29 can lead to duty rate differences and potential customs delays. Another point of confusion is with mirrors not specifically designed for automotive use; general glass mirrors (e.g., for furniture) fall under heading 7009.90. For rearview mirrors with electrical features, such as auto-dimming or turn signal indicators, classification may shift to a more specific electrical accessory heading, like 8512.20.
