Gas compressors manufactured solely for use in motor-vehicle air-conditioning units were classified under Heading 8708 as parts and accessories of motor vehicles, not under Heading 8414, because goods meant only for vehicles in Chapter 87 are treated as vehicle parts and the more specific vehicle-heading prevailed. The classification under Heading 8708 was upheld.

The matter was remanded only for requantification of tax and fresh determination under Section 73.
