I can’t tell you how many times people come to our website with product classification questions.  I found a webinar that just might be able to help.  On August 17, Deborah Stern will give a presentation entitled, “Isn’t a Part of a Part Still a Part?! The Challenges of Classifying Parts and Accessories under the HTSUS.”
 
Here’s a description of the webinar:

When it comes to classifying goods as “parts” or “parts and accessories,” it’s not enough to know the General Rules of Interpretation. Importers are expected to weave through a web of court decisions (among them the recent decision by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Honda of America Mfg. Inc. v. U.S. finding that oil bolts having a specific function are still considered “parts of general use”) and Customs rulings, many of which seem to be conflicting, in order to determine whether their component is classified as a part, an accessory, by its constituent material, or as something else.

This webinar will provide user-friendly rules and reference tools on the following topics to help you weave through that classification web, and will include interactive Q&A:

• “Parts” and “Accessories” Definitions and Distinctions
• Applying Additional US Rule 1(c)
• Common “Parts and Accessories” Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
• Quick Reference Guide to Classifying Parts, Accessories, and Everything Else

It sounds like the presenter, Deborah B. Stern, Esq., really knows her stuff.  She advises domestic and multinational clients on both U.S. and foreign customs compliance and other trade matters.  Her practice concentrates on tariff classification, seizures and penalties, country of origin, valuation, trademark infringement, broker compliance, and preferential duty programs.  The webinar costs $75, but the knowledge and tips this former CBP attorney will provide could save you countless hours of headache-inducing frustration.  Follow this link to sign up.
