Wheel Protective Cover
A wheel protective cover, also known as a wheel cover, hubcap, or wheel disk, is a decorative or protective cover affixed to the wheels of a vehicle. These covers serve various purposes, ranging from aesthetic enhancement to safeguarding wheel components.
Material:
- Plastic: The most common material due to its low cost, lightweight nature, and ease of manufacturing. Typically made from polypropylene or ABS plastic.
- Metal: Historically common, metal wheel covers (often steel or aluminum) offer greater durability and a more premium appearance. Aluminum is frequently used for aftermarket, styled covers.
- Stainless Steel: Provides corrosion resistance and a polished look.
- Carbon Fiber: Used in high-performance applications for weight reduction and a sporty aesthetic.
Purpose & Function:
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Wheel covers can significantly alter the appearance of a vehicle, offering a cost-effective way to customize its look.
- Protection: They shield the wheel center and lug nuts from road debris, corrosion, and the elements.
- Aerodynamics (Limited): Some designs are engineered to improve airflow around the wheel, potentially contributing to slight fuel efficiency gains, though this is not their primary function.
- Reduced Brake Dust Visibility: Covers can help conceal brake dust buildup on the wheel.
Usage Scenarios:
- Passenger Vehicles: The most common application, used to enhance the style of cars, trucks, and SUVs.
- Commercial Vehicles: Often used on vans and light trucks for a cleaner appearance and to protect wheels in demanding environments.
- Trailers: Provide a finished look and protection for trailer wheels.
- Motorcycles: Smaller wheel covers are used on some motorcycle models, primarily for aesthetic purposes.
Common Types:
- Full Wheel Covers (Hubcaps): Completely cover the wheel, concealing the entire center and often the lug nuts. Typically secured with lug nut retention or friction fit.
- Partial Wheel Covers (Center Caps): Cover only the wheel center, exposing the lug nuts. These often bear the vehicle manufacturer's logo.
- Snap-On Wheel Covers: Easily installed and removed by snapping onto the wheel. Common for plastic covers.
- Bolt-On Wheel Covers: Secured to the wheel using lug nuts or bolts, providing a more secure fit.
- Styled Wheel Covers: Designed to mimic the appearance of alloy wheels, often with intricate designs and a metallic finish.
- Trim Rings: Decorative rings that are mounted around the wheel center, often used in conjunction with center caps.
Based on the provided information, wheel protective covers fall under the classification of parts and accessories for motor vehicles. Here's a breakdown of relevant HS codes:
- 8708.70.60.45: This HS code specifically covers road wheels and parts thereof, including wheel covers and hubcaps for vehicles of subheading 8701.21, 8701.22, 8701.23, 8701.24 or 8701.29 or heading 8702, 8703, 8704 or 8705.

- 3926.90.30.00: This HS code covers parts for yachts or pleasure boats of heading 8903, and parts of canoes, racing shells, pneumatic craft and pleasure boats which are not of a type designed to be principally used with motors or sails. This could apply if the wheel protective cover is for a boat. The total tax rate is 59.2%, comprised of a 4.2% base tariff, a 25.0% additional tariff, and a 30% additional tariff.
- 3926.90.99.89: This HS code covers other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914.

The total tax rate is 42.8%, comprised of a 5.3% base tariff, a 7.5% additional tariff, and a 30% additional tariff.
It is important to determine the vehicle type the wheel protective cover is intended for to ensure correct HS code classification. If the cover is for a motor vehicle (car, truck, etc.), 8708.70.60.45 is the most likely classification. If it is for a boat, 3926.90.30.00 may be appropriate. If it is made of plastic and doesn't fit the other categories, 3926.90.99.89 could be used.
