HS Code 8607Railway or tramway locomotives or rolling stock; parts thereof

What HS code 8607 covers

Heading 8607 is for parts. It does not cover a whole engine, coach or wagon. It covers the pieces made to be fitted into them, such as bogies, axles, wheels, brakes and couplings.

The heading works for both railway and tramway vehicles. It is one part of the Chapter 86 railway group, which also holds complete vehicles, track fittings and signalling equipment. Some importers also call it HSN code 8607, and the number is the same.

Six-digit codes under 8607: bogies, axles, brakes and couplings

Each six-digit code names one kind of part. Here is what each one means in plain words.

A bogie is the wheeled frame that sits under a rail vehicle. Brakes slow the vehicle, and couplings join one vehicle to the next.

• 860712: all other bogies and bissel-bogies.
• 860721: air brakes and parts of air brakes.
• 860791: parts for locomotives that are not named anywhere else in 8607.
• 860799: parts for rolling stock that are not named anywhere else in 8607.

How to choose the right 8607 subheading

Start with the part, not the vehicle. Ask what the part is and what it does. Then find the matching line in the list above.

For bogies, the split is simple. Every other bogie goes to 860712.

For brakes, check if the part belongs to an air brake. If it does, use 860721. If it is a different type of brake, use 860729.

Use 860791 and 860799 last. They are catch-all codes for parts with no named line. Pick 860791 if the part is for a locomotive. Pick 860799 if it is for rolling stock. If you are still unsure, try the HS code classifier.

What is not classified in HS 8607 and how it differs from 8608

Heading 8607 is only for parts. A finished vehicle goes to a different heading. Track fittings and signalling equipment also sit elsewhere. This is the main difference between HS 8607 and 8608: 8607 is for parts of vehicles, while 8608 is for track fixtures and fittings and for signalling and traffic control equipment.

Use the headings below to check where the whole item belongs.

• 8601 and 8602: complete rail locomotives, plus locomotive tenders.
• 8604: maintenance and service vehicles, such as cranes and track inspection vehicles.
• 8609: containers made for carriage by one or more modes of transport.
