Parts and accessories of motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705 fall in heading 8708, which has 16 lines in our file, most at 15%. It covers bumpers, safety seat belts, brakes, gear boxes, drive axles, road wheels, suspension systems, radiators, silencers, clutches and steering parts. But not every car component belongs there. The notes to Section XVII exclude general parts and items named more precisely elsewhere, so engines go to chapter 84, heading 8407 or 8408, with parts in 8409. Tyres go to chapter 40, heading 4011. Batteries go to 8507, and lamps often to 8512. So the first question is not which car it fits, but what the article is. IGST has its own wording: Notification 9/2025 has entries for tractor parts at 5%, whereas parts for other vehicles appear at 18% in the entries we read, and those should be checked for your part.

Notes for buyers
Used parts raise policy questions separately from duty, so read the import conditions at the DGFT before ordering. Kits of parts sold to build a vehicle can be treated as the vehicle itself under the interpretation rules and exemption entries, at very different rates: see cars. For an ordinary shipment, the small tool has 15% and 18%. For the whole sum, go to the full calculator.
