870123
Tractors; road tractors for semi-trailers, with both spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and electric motors for propulsion
Heading 8701 — Tractors; (other than tractors of heading no 8709)
Chapter 87: Vehicles other than railway
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 870123 when importing or exporting road tractors designed for semi-trailers that utilize both spark-ignition internal combustion engines and electric motors. For instance, a shipment of a hybrid road tractor intended for freight transport would fall under this classification.
This code specifically covers tractors that combine traditional combustion engines with electric propulsion, distinguishing them from purely diesel or gasoline-powered tractors. In contrast, HS-6 870120 applies to road tractors solely powered by internal combustion engines.
Tractors classified under this code are typically used in logistics and transportation sectors, emphasizing fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. If you are dealing with tractors that do not have electric motors, you should refer to other codes within this heading.
When considering the importation of hybrid road tractors, ensure compliance with both customs regulations and environmental standards, as these vehicles may have specific requirements due to their dual propulsion systems.
