Parts for cars mostly take heading 8708 of the US tariff, with general rates of up to 2.5% on common lines such as brake parts on 8708.30.50 and road wheels on 8708.70.60. Plenty of parts sit elsewhere, including tires in chapter 40, lamps in 8512 and engines in 8407 and 8408. The action that matters most here is Section 232. In the release we read, 147 codes appear on the passenger vehicle and parts list of U.S. note 33 at +25%, and 215 on the truck list of note 38. Goods under those programs are outside the 60-economy duty, but Chinese goods keep their Section 301 list. So $10,000 of brake parts from China comes to $4,000 (40%) in the tool without the program. With it selected, the country duty drops and the 232 duty takes its place. Scope depends on the part’s use.

The list and the choice in the tool
The tool preselects the auto program only for passenger cars on 8703, such as line 8703.23.01 at 2.5% ordinary duty, because for a car the answer is clear. For parts it stays on None until you choose, since being on the list does not say your article is in scope for your use. Selecting it changes the total at once, so try both.
Partners with their own totals
The note sets different treatment for partners such as the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan and South Korea, with a parts rate of 10 percent for the United Kingdom under heading 9903.94.32. The calculator charges the general rate, so its result can be too high for those origins. Read the Section 232 page and the note itself.
