## How to choose
- Is the cover made of plastic or vinyl? → 3926.90
- Is it made of rubber (flexible, non-slip, durable)? → 4016.10
- Does it feel like real or synthetic leather? → 4205.00
- Is it made of fabric (e.g., polyester, cotton)? → 6304.9X/6307.90
- Is it designed as a vehicle-specific part (e.g., with precise fit, built-in straps)? → 8708.99
## Overlaps & pitfalls
- A textile cover with rubberized backing may fit both 6304.9X and 4016.10.
- Leather-like covers made of synthetic material may be misclassified as 4205.00 or 6304.9X.
- Custom-fitted seat covers (e.g., with stitching) may qualify under both 8708.99 and textile/plastic categories.
- **If multiple traits apply, prioritize the product’s MAIN function:** Use 8708.99 only if it's clearly a vehicle part; otherwise, use material-based classification
