Detailed information for HTS Code 8701.22.00
This tariff code falls within the section for vehicles, specifically covering tractors. Code 8701.22.00 concerns road tractors for semi-trailers that utilize both diesel/semi-diesel and electric motors for propulsion. This code has further subdivisions based on whether the tractor is new with a gross vehicle weight (G.V.W.) not exceeding or exceeding 36,287 kg, or if it is used; be sure to select the appropriate statistical suffix based on the tractor’s condition and weight. Statistical reporting requires classifying vehicles as “new” only if unsold directly from a manufacturer/distributor/dealer, and as “used” only after a first sale to an ultimate purchaser.
