Questions
HS code 860500: common questions
What is HS code 860500?
HS code 860500 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Railway or tramway passenger coaches, not selfpropelled; luggage vans, post office coaches and other special purpose railway or tramway coaches, not selfpropelled (excluding those of heading 8604)". The first two digits (86) are the chapter — Railway or tramway locomotives, rolling stock and track fixtures — and digits 3-4 (8605) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 860500?
Common products classified under 860500 include passenger coach, railway carriage, luggage van, mail coach, passenger car, non-selfpropelled coach and similar items matching railway or tramway passenger coaches. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 860500?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 860500 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (860500) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
