Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 871620 when importing or exporting self-loading or self-unloading trailers designed for agricultural purposes. For example, a shipment of a self-loading trailer used for transporting hay would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers trailers that are not mechanically propelled but are designed to facilitate agricultural tasks. In contrast, HS-6 871621 covers similar trailers but focuses on those equipped with specific unloading mechanisms.
When classifying self-loading trailers, consider their intended use and design features. For instance, a trailer designed to load crops directly from the field is categorized here, while a standard flatbed trailer would not qualify.
Ensure you understand the differences between self-loading trailers and other types of agricultural vehicles. For example, HS-6 871610 includes non-self-loading trailers, which do not have the same operational capabilities.
