Consequently, classification as metal mountings, fittings or similar articles under heading 8302 is excluded (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 8302, first paragraph).\nConsequently, the device is considered to be a part of a reclining mechanism of a motor vehicle seat.\nThe device is therefore to be classified under CN code 9401 90 80 as other parts of seats of a kind used for motor vehicles.",
