About this HS Code
HS Code 8512 covers electrical lighting or signaling equipment, windshield wipers, defrosters, and demisters, of a kind used for cycles or motor vehicles. The classification includes subcategories for lighting/visual signaling equipment (8512.10-8512.30), windshield wipers/defrosters/demisters (8512.40), and parts (8512.90). This vehicular electrical systems category includes components that enhance safety, visibility, and operability in transportation equipment. Products range from basic vehicle headlamps to sophisticated adaptive lighting systems and electronic signaling devices. Technical specifications focus on illumination performance, weather resistance, durability under vibration, compatibility with vehicle electrical systems, and compliance with transportation safety regulations. Unlike general lighting equipment (HS 8539/9405), these specialized systems are engineered specifically for mobile applications with appropriate voltage characteristics, vibration resistance, and sealed construction for environmental protection. This division represents critical safety and operational equipment that enables vehicle operation in various conditions including darkness, precipitation, and situations requiring driver communication with other road users.
