It is designed to mount a mechanical cable assembly, also known as a “Bowden Cable”, to a motor vehicle seat frame structure. The Bowden Cable is part of the mechanism that folds the seat to an up or down position. The bracket attaches around the compensator housing of the cable and then is mounted directly to the vehicle’s seat frame. The bracket is made of a base metal SAE J2340 Grade 340XF HR – high strength low alloy steel.
The applicable subheading for the steel motor vehicle seat cable bracket will be 8302.42.3065, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles… Other mountings, fittings and similar articles, and parts thereof: Other, suitable for furniture: Of iron or steel, of aluminum or of zinc; Other.
