U.S. import duty on car body parts (HTS 8708.29.51), by country of origin
HTS 8708.29.51: Other parts and accessories of bodies of motor vehicles (tariff text: "Other"). The base rate is 2.5%; the Chapter 99 measures in force bring the total to between 2.5% (United Kingdom; 2.5% to 27.5% depending on the answers) and 52.5% (China; 40% to 52.5% depending on the answers) across the 20 largest sources of U.S. imports.
An estimate for a person to review, not a customs ruling. Built from 2026 HTS Revision 22 and the USITC Chapter 99 notes (rules version ef2237d8b7cd0cec), recalculated on every page view. Antidumping and countervailing duties, quotas and fees are not included. Check your classification: a different 8-digit line can carry a different stack.

Total duty by country
Countries with the same duty layers are grouped. Default assumptions: no trade-agreement preference claimed, no special use.
United Kingdom: 2.5% (2.5% to 27.5% depending on the questions below)
- Base rate 2.5% (column 1 general)
- applies; not priced: U.S. note 33(j) lists this subheading for the United Kingdom under a statistical reporting number that the current schedule no longer prints. The rate is either 10 percent in total (heading 9903.94.32, if the article is still treated as listed) or an additional 25 percent (heading 9903.94.05). Confirm the treatment with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Section 232: passenger vehicles, light trucks and parts, heading
9903.94.05. The article is a United Kingdom product in a subheading that note 33(j) lists under a statistical reporting number the schedule no longer prints (8507.60.0020, 8707.10.0040, 8708.29.5160 or 8708.80.1600), so the code cannot tell whether heading 9903.94.32 (10 percent in total) or heading 9903.94.05 (an additional 25 percent) applies. It is shown under heading 9903.94.05; other programs treat the article as an automobile part in either case. (U.S. note 33(j) to subchapter III of chapter 99)
