Drive axles with differential, load-bearing axles and related parts for industrial vehicle assembly

This covers drive axles with a differential, including those with other transmission parts, load-bearing axles and parts for them. The stated use is industrial assembly of motor vehicles, including vehicles mainly designed for passenger transport, certain goods vehicles and special-purpose vehicles.

For example

A complete drive axle with differential for industrial assembly of a motor vehicle mainly designed for passenger transport; it is an axle assembly, not a bumper, safety belt, window, body part, brake, gearbox, wheel, suspension part, radiator, exhaust part, clutch, steering part, airbag or other unspecified part.
A load-bearing axle for industrial assembly of a special-purpose motor vehicle; it is an axle, not a bumper, safety belt, window, body part, brake, gearbox, wheel, suspension part, radiator, exhaust part, clutch, steering part, airbag or other unspecified part.

This is the catch-all under 8708: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.

Within vehicle parts and accessories, this covers the named drive-axle, load-bearing-axle and related-part goods that are not covered by the sibling codes for bumpers, safety belts, windows, body parts, brakes, gearboxes, wheels, suspension, radiators, exhausts, clutches, steering parts, airbags or other unspecified parts.
