Sourcing this category from India
HS 8701.23 covers Tractors; road tractors for semi-trailers, with both spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and electric motors for propulsion. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. Vehicles and auto components are a major Indian export, from two-wheelers and tractors to a deep parts industry.
How to read this code
8701.23 is the six-digit HS subheading for tractors. 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 (870123): 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 870123 for goods under this heading.
