Chapter 87 classification notes
Heavily protected sector globally. Duty rates 2.5% (US cars) to 100%+ (some developing countries). EU-Japan EPA eliminated 10% EU car duty. Type approval/homologation required. Emissions standards (Euro 6, EPA Tier 3) must be met.
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
SUVs vs trucks — the US classifies some SUVs as trucks (25% duty) vs cars (2.5%). Electric vehicles may have specific duty concessions in some countries.
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
