The last two digits of the international harmonized code are more specific and define subcategories of products. In the example above, the 70 refers to Other vehicles, with both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and electric motor as motors for propulsion, capable of being charged by plugging to external source of electric power.
