This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sold as general purpose gear housing without starter-specific mounting
Loses specific engine starting function classification, treated as transmission shaft parts.
If for aftermarket parts imported specifically for vehicle assembly lines
US note shifts certain vehicle-specific parts to Chapter 87 motor vehicle parts.
If imported as unfinished aluminum castings before starter-specific machining
Unmachined castings classified by material in Chapter 76 rather than function.
