Product classification for trading Item

[hassan imam]

We are manufacturer /traders and exporter of automobile.

Some parts we manufacturer and some of parts we bought out from local market then export to further after repacking and relabeling.

My question is how we can define HS code of product whether on the basis of supplier provided HS code or as per tariff code. For Example: we exporting GASKET under HS Code 87089900 (PARTS AND ACCESSORIES OF THE MOTOR VEHICLES OF HEADINGS 8701 TO 8705 - others parts and accessories ) but actual code of this product is 40169340.
