HS Code 8706Chassis; fitted with engines, for the motor vehicles of heading no. 8701 to 8705
1 six-digit code · Heading 6 of 16 in Chapter 87 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 8706 is for a vehicle chassis that already has its engine fitted. Traders also search for it as HSN code 8706 or HTS 8706.
Heading 8706does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Chassis; fitted with engines, for the motor vehicles of heading no. 8701 to 8705” classify at the single six-digit code 870600. The heading is number 6 of 16 in Chapter 87, Vehicles; other than railway or tramway rolling stock, and parts and accessories thereof, which runs to 98 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 8706 covers
A chassis is the base frame a vehicle is built on. When the engine is already fitted to that frame, the goods belong in this heading. The frame must be made for one of the motor vehicles in headings 8701 to 8705.
So the chassis is not sorted by its own size or shape. It is sorted by the vehicle it is meant for. This is why one heading serves five kinds of vehicle.
- 8701: tractor chassis
- 8702: bus chassis and other chassis for public transport passenger vehicles
- 8703: chassis for motor cars and other vehicles that carry people
- 8704: truck chassis and other chassis for goods vehicles
- 8705: chassis for special purpose vehicles, such as breakdown lorries and mobile workshops
How 870600 fits in the Harmonized System
The Harmonized System reads from broad to narrow. For this product the path is Section XVII, then Chapter 87, then heading 8706, then code 870600. Think of it as a set of folders, each one more exact than the last.
Once you know the goods are a motor vehicle chassis with an engine, there is nothing more to choose at this level. The path ends at 870600. This is the step that matters for customs classification, and it is the same step buyers and sellers use when they search for records.
8706 vs 8707 and 8708: chassis, bodies and parts
Three neighbouring headings are easy to mix up. Each one names a different part of the same vehicle family.
Heading 8707 is for vehicle bodies, and that includes cabs.
A finished vehicle is different again. For more detail, read the pages for HS 8707 vehicle bodies and cabs and HS 8708 motor vehicle parts.
How to confirm the correct HS code for a chassis with engine
Work through a few simple checks before you file. They take a minute and can save you from a wrong declaration.
If you are still unsure, describe the goods in the HS code classifier. Then compare the result with the heading wording.
- Does the frame have its engine fitted? If yes, 8706 may apply.
- Which vehicle is it built for?
- Is the item a body or a cab? Look at 8707.
- Is it a loose part or an accessory? Look at 8708.
- Is it a whole, finished vehicle?
