When it comes to classifying automotive parts made of plastic,
one of the options is HS:392630 (Fittings for furniture, coachwork, or the like:)
I wonder why HS tariff used the terms of “coachwork”??
It should be “automotive”??
And also many people may wonder what kind of items are classified as “Fittings for Coachwork”?
So I retrieved items which are classified as “Fittings for Coachwork”(HS:3926.30)
from many customs ruling database.
Below is the list of the items classified as “Fittings for Coachwork”(HS:3926.30)

“Fittings for Coachwork” is a vague term. I looked for the definition of it but could not find it.
Here is just my opinion to differ from them.
plastic parts for automotive which work directly for the automotive mechanism goes to 8708.
On the contrary plastic parts for automotive which works as Accessories, like connecting, attach, fix something to the place, etc goes to 3926.30(fittings for coachwork)
Since there is no clear definition for it, I determine them by items picture obtaining from the customs ruling database.
Please refer to the above pictures to see the difference between auto parts made of plastic 3926 and 8708.
