## How it is structured

8702.40 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 87, are the chapter; the first four, 8702, are heading 87.02; the last two, 40, identify the subheading within the heading.

Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.

- Chapter 87: Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof
- Heading 87.02: Motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons, including the driver
- Subheading 8702.40: With only electric motor for propulsion

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 8702.40 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 8702.40 at six digits and add their own digits after it.

- Previous subheading: [8702.30](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/870230) With both spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and electric motor as motors for propulsion
- Next subheading: [8702.90](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/870290) Other
