Chapter noteChapter 87 — Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof

For the purposes of this chapter, 'tractors' means vehicles constructed essentially for hauling or pushing another vehicle, appliance or load, whether or not they contain subsidiary provision for the transport of tools, seeds, fertilisers or other goods in connection with their main use. Heading 8702 covers motor vehicles for the transport of 10 or more persons. Heading 8703 covers motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons (1-9 seats), classified by engine type: spark-ignition (petrol), compression-ignition (diesel/semi-diesel), electric motor only, or hybrid combinations. Heading 8704 covers motor vehicles for the transport of goods, with similar engine-type subdivisions. Chassis fitted with engines are classified under heading 8706, and bodies (including cabs) under heading 8707. The distinction between complete vehicles, chassis, and bodies is critical for classification purposes.
