Common questions
What is HS code 8604?
8604 is the HS 2022 heading for Railway or tramway maintenance or service vehicles; whether or not self-propelled (e.g. workshops, cranes, ballast tampers, trackliners, testing coaches and track inspection vehicles). It is in chapter 86 (Railway, tramway locomotives, rolling-stock and parts thereof; railway or tramway track fixtures and fittings and parts thereof; mechanical (including electro-mechanical) traffic signalling equipment of all kinds), section XVII, and is not split further: the 6-digit code is 8604.00.
Can I write 8604 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 8604.00), and the import declaration uses the destination country’s full code of 8 to 10 digits. Use the subheading that matches your product, and confirm the national digits with the buyer, the customs broker or the official tariff.
