Chapter 86: Railway or tramway locomotives
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 860711 when importing or exporting driving bogies and bissel-bogies specifically designed for railway or tramway locomotives. For instance, if you're shipping a set of driving bogies for a freight locomotive, this code applies directly.
This code falls under the broader category of railway or tramway locomotives and rolling stock, which includes various types of vehicles used on tracks. In contrast, HS-6 860712 covers other parts of locomotives, such as non-driven bogies, which do not provide propulsion.
The 860711 classification specifically targets components that are integral to the movement of locomotives, distinguishing it from other parts that may serve different functions. If your shipment includes a driving bogie that supports the weight and provides traction, this is the correct code.
When considering related codes, remember that HS-6 860719 covers other parts of railway locomotives that do not fit the definitions of driving or bissel-bogies. Ensure you accurately classify your products to avoid customs issues.
