Legal and explanatory notes for 8703400000

8703 CN Explanatory Notes: Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons (other than those of heading 8702), including station wagons and racing cars

This heading includes ‘multipurpose vehicles’, such as motor vehicles which can transport both persons and goods: 1. Of the pick-up type: This type of vehicle usually has more than one row of seats and is formed by two separate areas, namely a closed cabin for the transport of persons and an open or covered area for the transport of goods. However, such vehicles are to be classified in heading 8704, if the maximum inner length at the floor of the area for the transport of the goods is more than 50 % of the length of the wheelbase of the vehicle or if they have more than two axles. 2. Of the van-type: The van-type vehicle with more than one row of seats must fulfil the indications given in the HS Explanatory Note to heading 8703. However, such vehicles are to be classified in heading 8704 if the maximum inner length at the floor of the area for the transport of the goods is more than 50 % of the length of the wheelbase of the vehicle or if they have more than two axles. Van-type vehicles with one row of seats, and no presence of permanent anchor points and fittings for installing seats and safety equipment in the rear part of the vehicle, whether or not they have a permanent panel or barrier between the area for persons and the load area or windows in the side panels, are to be classified in heading 8704.

Notes to chapter 87

Notes 1. This chapter does not cover railway or tramway rolling stock designed solely for running on rails. 2. For the purposes of this chapter, ‘tractors’ means vehicles constructed essentially for hauling or pushing another vehicle, appliance or load, whether or not they contain subsidiary provision for the transport, in connection with the main use of the tractor, of tools, seeds, fertilisers or other goods. Machines and working tools designed for fitting to tractors of heading 8701 as interchangeable equipment remain classified in their respective headings even if presented with the tractor, and whether or not mounted on it. 3. Motor chassis fitted with cabs fall in headings 8702 to 8704, and not in heading 8706. 4. Heading 8712 includes all children's bicycles. Other children's cycles fall in heading 9503. Subheading note 1. Subheading 8708 22 covers: (a) front windscreens (windshields), rear windows and other windows, framed; and (b) front windscreens (windshields), rear windows and other windows, whether or not framed, incorporating heating devices or other electrical or electronic devices, when suitable for use solely or principally with the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705.

UK advance tariff rulings for 8703400000

Rulings of HM Revenue & Customs for goods with UK commodity codes that start like this EU code. The UK tariff differs from the EU tariff, so these rulings are guidance for the EU.

  • UK 8703409090 Valid Jul 24, 2025 to Jul 23, 2028 · Ruling 600013417 on GOV.UK

    A Ferrari prototype racing car manufactured in 2013. The 1.6 litre engine a Ferrari type 059/3 which is a hybrid petrol engine fuelled by 94.25% petrol and 5.75% biofuel. A unique engine as it was Ferrari’s first hybrid power unit (which the car was the testbed for) and was developed specifically and only for this car and the 2014 F1 cars. The system fitted to this car is ‘KERS’ – kinetic energy recovery system. It works by capturing energy lost during braking and storing it in a battery, giving the driver a short-term ‘free’ energy boost. Although the system did reduce CO2 emissions, the primary goal was to explore the potential of hybridisation as a means of enhancing performance of Ferrari F1 cars. As such the development team were tasked with using this car to help assess the trade-off between the system’s extra weight and the lap time gains the extra power resulted in. The high voltage battery pack consists of 120 cells split into eight modules, and was assembled by the F1 racing department. The pack was secured inside a Kevlar case and isolated from the cabin by a glass layer. Inverters and two direct current converters controlled the power delivery resulting in the correct integration between the combustion engine and the e-motor. This Ferrari prototype racing car was designed, built and solely used to test for Ferrari F1 for competitive racing, and is in its original state without any substantial changes to the chassis and bodywork. Please note the batteries are not currently fitted into the car. This car was revealed to the media in 2014 as the first and only prototype for Ferrari’s proposed entry into the World Endurance Sports Car Championship and was tested on track extensively by Ferrari drivers. It has since been on display for over a decade in the official Ferrari Factory Museum and will eventually go to shows for private or public display.

    Justification

    Classification has been determined in accordance with the following: For the purposes of determining the commodity codes within which goods most appropriately fall, Reg 3 (1) of The Customs Tariff (Establishment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 sets out that the rules of interpretation contained in the following have effect – a. Part Two (Goods Classification Table Rules of Interpretation) of the Tariff of the United Kingdom (Reg 3(1)(a)); and b. Notes to a section or chapter of the Goods Classification Table (Reg 3(1)(b)). General Interpretative Rules (GIRs): GIR 1 has been used to classify this product by the terms of heading 8703 - Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons (other than those of heading 8702), including station wagons and racing cars GIR 6 has been used to classify the goods to subheading level 870340 - Other vehicles, with both spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and electric motor as motors for propulsion, other than those capable of being charged by plugging to external source of electric power 8 digit code 87034090 - Used 10 digit code 8703409090 - Other than of a cylinder capacity not exceeding …
