It is an injected molded plastic enclosure whose purpose is to improve the acoustical quality of the door panel speaker that it houses. It is mounted from the interior of the carÂ’s door panel whereas the speaker is mounted from the outside of the door panel.

The applicable subheading for the speaker housing is 8518.90.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Microphones and stands therefor; loudspeakers, whether or not mounted in their enclosures Parts: Other: Other.” The rate of duty will be 4.9 percent ad valorem.
