Sourcing this category from India
HS 8606.91 covers Railway or tramway goods vans and wagons; covered and closed, not self-propelled. 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 $18.3M under this code worldwide in 2024, about 5.2% of all Chapter 86 exports, ranking #2 of 4 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).
How to read this code
8606.91 is the six-digit HS subheading for railway or tramway goods vans and wagons. 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.
In India this same number is called the HSN code (860691): GST registration, invoices and e-way bills all classify goods by HSN, and the applicable GST rate is notified against the 4–8 digit HSN — so Indian suppliers will quote you HSN 860691 for goods under this heading.
