Although the goods were principally suitable for motor vehicles, Heading 8708 applies only where the cumulative conditions for Section XVII vehicle parts and accessories are met. The Section XVII Explanatory Notes exclude identifiable vehicle parts that are more specifically classified elsewhere. As the goods were gears and gearing components rather than differentials or drive axles with differentials, Heading 8483 prevailed over Heading 8708.
