Sourcing this category from India

HS 8602.90 covers Rail locomotives and locomotive tenders; other than diesel-electric powered. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India has a large railway industry and exports coaches, wagons, parts and signalling gear to developing-country networks. India exported $41.7M under this code worldwide in 2024, about 11.9% of all Chapter 86 exports, ranking #1 of 2 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).

How to read this code

8602.90 is the six-digit HS subheading for rail locomotives and locomotive tenders. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many vehicles, aircraft & transport lines — check our import guides for your market.
