HS 8708 covers parts and accessories of motor vehicle bodies and chassis — bumpers, seat belts, brakes, gearboxes, axles, wheels, suspension, radiators, exhaust systems, clutches, steering components, and airbags. Every line except windscreens/windows (already Free) carries the same 6% MFN rate, which CPTPP brings to zero.
Part of our Automotive Parts commodity guide →What actually qualifies: tariff shift or regional value content
Manufactured goods generally qualify under CPTPP's product-specific rules of origin through either a tariff-shift test — the finished good must be classified under a different HS heading than any non-originating materials used to make it — or a regional value content (RVC) threshold, typically 30–40% under CPTPP, notably more lenient than NAFTA's old 50–60% requirement.
Unlike the textile yarn-forward rule or produce's wholly-obtained test, this means a part can incorporate some non-CPTPP-origin materials or components and still qualify, provided the specific tariff-shift or RVC threshold for that HS heading is met. Confirm the applicable rule for the specific heading rather than assuming any manufacturing location automatically qualifies.
