HTS heading 8707 covers vehicle bodies, including cabs, that are designed for motor vehicles classified in headings 8701 through 8705. In plain language, this generally means the body or cab structure of covered motor vehicles, rather than a complete vehicle. The related vehicle headings include tractors, passenger vehicles, goods-transport vehicles, and certain special-purpose motor vehicles.
Heading 8707 is only a 4-digit category. To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first identify the kind of body or cab and the type of vehicle it is designed for, then follow the applicable subheading divisions. Those divisions may distinguish products by characteristics such as material or vehicle type. Confirm the full description, legal notes, and any exclusions in the current HTSUS before declaring the item.
What to check
- Identify whether the merchandise is a complete vehicle, a body or cab, or a separate component; heading 8707 is for bodies and cabs, not every vehicle part.
- Determine which heading from 8701 through 8705 describes the vehicle the body or cab is designed for, using the vehicle’s function and design.
- Record the body or cab’s principal construction material and physical form, then compare those facts with the wording of the available 8-digit subheadings.
- Check whether the item is unfinished, assembled, cut, fitted, or combined with other components, because its condition as imported can affect classification.
- Review the current HTSUS subheading text, section and chapter notes, and relevant Customs rulings; ask a customs broker or classification specialist when the product description is ambiguous.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
