About chapter 87

Chapter 87 covers vehicles; other than railway or tramway rolling stock, and parts and accessories thereof: cars, trucks, motorcycles, trailers and tractors. Vehicle classification typically depends on engine type, seating capacity and cargo function, each of which maps to a different subheading and duty rate.

Classification tip: Electric and hybrid vehicles are classified under the same broad headings as internal-combustion vehicles but split into their own subheadings by propulsion type, and EV import incentives vary widely by country, so check current schedules rather than assuming parity with combustion-engine duty rates.

Codes and descriptions follow the WCO six-digit Harmonized System nomenclature. National tariff schedules extend these to 8–13 digits and set the actual duty rate, so confirm the full code for your destination country with your customs broker before filing.

Chapter 87 FAQ

What does HS code chapter 87 cover?

Chapter 87 of the Harmonized System covers: vehicles; other than railway or tramway rolling stock, and parts and accessories thereof. It belongs to section XVII (Vehicles & Transport) and contains 16 four-digit headings, 8701–8716.

How many HS codes are in chapter 87?

Chapter 87 contains 16 four-digit headings and 98 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.

Is HS code 8701 the same in every country?

Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.

How do I choose the right code within chapter 87?

Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
