What HS code 8716 covers
Its goods are vehicles that are not mechanically propelled. That means they have no engine to move them. A truck, a car or a tractor pulls them, or they are carried by another vehicle.
Typical goods are caravan trailers, farm trailers, tanker semi-trailers and the parts made for them. People also search for this as HSN code 8716 or as the HS code for a trailer. It is the same classification under different names.
The Harmonized System is a shared naming scheme for traded goods. The first six digits of a code are the same in every country that uses it.
