Chapter 87 covers railway and tramway locomotives, rolling stock and parts thereof; railway and tramway track fixtures and fittings; mechanical (including electro-mechanical) traffic signalling equipment of all kinds; and various non-mechanical vehicles (such as bicycles, hand carts, baby carriages, etc.). This chapter includes both motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, but motor vehicles are mainly classified under headings 8701 to 8711, while non-motor vehicles are mainly classified under headings 8712 to 8716. Heading 8716 covers other non-mechanical vehicles, i.e., vehicles not fitted with mechanical or electric power units, including hand carts, luggage carts, sledges, shopping carts, wheelchairs, baby carriages, etc. Note, however, that two-wheeled vehicles such as bicycles are classified under 8712, baby carriages under 8715, while 8716 mainly covers other non-mechanical vehicles not elsewhere specified, such as hand carts, pedal vehicles, animal-drawn vehicles, etc. Code 871640 is a 6-digit subheading. The first 2 digits '87' represent Chapter 87, i.e., vehicles and parts and accessories thereof, other than railway or tramway rolling stock. Digits 3-4 '16' represent heading 8716, i.e., other non-mechanical vehicles. Digits 5-6 '40' represent subheading 871640, i.e., other non-mechanical vehicles (not elsewhere specified). Note: under heading 8716 there are also 871610 (trailers and semi-trailers for housing or camping), 871620 (agricultural self-loading or self-unloading trailers and semi-trailers), 871631 (tank trailers and semi-trailers), 871639 (other freight trailers and semi-trailers), 871640 (other non-mechanical vehicles). Therefore 871640 specifically refers to those other non-mechanical vehicles that are neither for housing or camping, nor agricultural self-loading or self-unloading, nor tank-type, nor freight trailers and semi-trailers. The goods are non-mechanical vehicles and do not fall under other subheadings already specified under heading 8716 (such as for housing or camping, agricultural self-loading or self-unloading, tank-type, freight trailers and semi-trailers), therefore they are classified under 871640. If the vehicle were mechanically driven, it should be classified under 8701 to 8711; if it were a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle, it would be classified under 8712; if it were a baby carriage, it would be classified under 8715.

Product Name: The specific name of the declared commodity, which should accurately reflect the type and use of the vehicle, such as 'hand cart', 'luggage cart', etc. Brand: Fill in the brand or trademark of the vehicle; if there is no brand, fill in 'unbranded'. Model: Fill in the model or specification of the vehicle; if there is no model, fill in 'no model'. Use: Describe the main use of the vehicle, such as 'carrying goods', 'carrying people', etc. Material: Main materials, such as frame material (steel, aluminum, etc.), tire material, etc. Wheel Diameter: The diameter of the wheels, usually expressed in inches or centimeters. Whether Fitted with Mechanical Drive Device: Confirm whether the vehicle is non-mechanical; should fill in 'No'. Product Name: hand cart; Brand: unbranded; Model: HT-100; Use: carrying goods in warehouse; Material: steel frame, rubber wheels; Wheel Diameter: 10 inches; Whether Fitted with Mechanical Drive Device: No. Mistakenly classifying non-mechanical vehicles under the chapter for mechanical vehicles (such as 87.01 to 87.11). Confusing 871640 with 871680 (other non-mechanical vehicles)? Note: the subheadings under 8716 have been adjusted; 871640 is other non-mechanical vehicles. Ignoring the specific use of the vehicle, leading to incorrect classification under other subheadings (e.g., agricultural trailers under 871620).

Core basis for classification: First, determine whether the vehicle is non-mechanical, i.e., whether it is fitted with an engine or electric motor. Second, determine whether the vehicle belongs to a specific type already listed under heading 8716 (such as for housing or camping, agricultural self-loading or self-unloading, tank-type, freight trailers and semi-trailers). If it does not belong to these specific types, it is classified under 871640. At the same time, attention must be paid to excluding 8712 (bicycles, etc.) and 8715 (baby carriages). 871200 Bicycles and other non-motorized cycles: 871200 covers two-wheeled bicycles, while 871640 covers other non-mechanical vehicles such as hand carts, tricycles, etc. 871500 Baby carriages and parts thereof: 871500 specifically refers to baby carriages, while 871640 covers other non-mechanical vehicles, excluding baby carriages. 871610 Trailers and semi-trailers for housing or camping: 871610 specifically refers to box-type trailers for housing or camping, while 871640 covers other non-mechanical vehicles, excluding such trailers. 871620 Agricultural self-loading or self-unloading trailers and semi-trailers: 871620 specifically refers to agricultural self-loading or self-unloading trailers, while 871640 covers other non-mechanical vehicles. 871631 Tank trailers and semi-trailers: 871631 specifically refers to tank trailers, while 871640 covers other non-mechanical vehicles. Is the vehicle fitted with a mechanical or electric drive device? Is the vehicle a bicycle or baby carriage? Is the vehicle a trailer for housing or camping? Is the vehicle an agricultural self-loading or self-unloading trailer? Is the vehicle a tank trailer or freight trailer?

What vehicles are specifically included in HS code 871640? 871640 includes other non-mechanical vehicles, such as hand carts, luggage carts, shopping carts, pedal tricycles, animal-drawn vehicles, etc., but excludes bicycles (8712), baby carriages (8715), and specific trailers already listed under 8716 (such as for housing or camping, agricultural self-loading or self-unloading, tank-type, freight trailers). How to determine whether a hand cart is classified under 871640? First confirm that the hand cart is non-mechanical, then check whether it falls under other subheadings under 8716. If the hand cart is not for housing or camping, not agricultural self-loading or self-unloading, not tank-type, not a freight trailer, then it is classified under 871640. Under which code should an electric scooter be classified? An electric scooter is fitted with an electric motor and is a mechanically driven vehicle, so it should be classified under 8711 (motorcycles and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor), not 871640. Are supermarket shopping carts classified under 871640? Supermarket shopping carts are usually non-mechanical and do not fall under other specific subheadings under 8716, so they are classified under 871640. What are the declaration elements for 871640? Declaration elements include product name, brand, model, use, material, wheel diameter, whether fitted with mechanical drive device, etc. Specific requirements are subject to customs regulations. How to check the import tariff rate for vehicles classified under 871640? The import tariff rate must be determined based on the country of origin, trade agreements, etc. It can be obtained by consulting the 'Customs Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China' or through customs classification advance rulings. Tariff rates may change; it is recommended to refer to the latest tariff schedule. Should a non-mechanical tricycle be classified under 871640? A non-mechanical tricycle, such as a human-powered tricycle, if it is not classified under 8712 (bicycles) and does not fall under other subheadings under 8716, is classified under 871640. However, note that some tricycles may be classified under 8712 (such as tricycles). What is the difference between 871640 and 871680? According to the HS coding system, subheadings under 8716 include 871610, 871620, 871631, 871639, 871640, etc. 871680 is for other non-mechanical vehicles, but note that different versions of HS codes may have adjustments. In the current version, 871640 is other non-mechanical vehicles.
