Chapter 87: Vehicles other than railway
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 8706 when importing chassis fitted with engines specifically designed for motor vehicles classified under headings 8701 to 8705. For example, if you're bringing in a chassis for a truck or bus, this code applies directly.
When deciding between HS-6 870600 and other headings, consider the specific vehicle type. If your chassis is intended for a passenger car, it falls under headings 8701 to 8705, and thus uses this code. Make sure to confirm the vehicle classification to avoid misclassification.
If you’re importing a chassis without an engine, you would not use this heading. Instead, look into other relevant headings that cover unengineered chassis. Understanding the distinction between fitted and non-fitted chassis is crucial for correct tariff application.
