Code 8408 10 · Heading 8408

Piston diesel or semi-diesel engines for propelling ships and boats

This code covers piston compression-ignition engines, also called diesel or semi-diesel engines, when they are used to propel ships or boats. The children distinguish between used and new engines, the engine power for new engines, and certain specified seagoing vessels, tugs and warships versus other ships and boats.

For example

  • A used piston diesel engine for propelling a boat
  • A new piston semi-diesel engine for propelling a ship
