Reading code 8709

The first two digits (87) place this code in chapter 87 — Vehicles and Parts. As a 4-digit heading it groups a whole product family; 6 and 8-digit codes underneath it get more specific. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

Cars, two-wheelers, tractors, commercial vehicles, and auto parts. Most motor vehicles attract 28% GST plus compensation cess.
