Common questions
What is HS code 8709?
8709 is the HS 2022 heading for Works trucks, self-propelled, (not fitted with lifting or handling equipment), for factories, warehouses etc, for short distance transport of goods, tractors used on railway station platforms; parts thereof. It is in chapter 87 (Vehicles; other than railway or tramway rolling stock, and parts and accessories thereof), section XVII, and has 3 six-digit subheadings, from 8709.11 to 8709.90.
Can I write 8709 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 8709.11), 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.
