How it is structured
8701.24 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 87, are the chapter; the first four, 8701, are heading 87.01; the last two, 24, identify the subheading within the heading.
Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.
- Heading 87.01
- Tractors (other than tractors of heading 87.09)
- Within the heading
- Road tractors for semi-trailers
- Subheading 8701.24
- With only electric motor for propulsion
In other countries
No national tariff lines under 8701.24 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 8701.24 at six digits and add their own digits after it.
