Code 8431 20 · Heading 8431

Parts for forklifts and other trucks with lifting and moving devices, not specified elsewhere

This covers parts for forklifts and other trucks fitted with a device for lifting and moving. It applies when the part is not covered by one of the neighbouring categories for other named lifting, conveying, earthmoving or drilling machinery.

For example

Replacement lifting mast for a forklift, rather than a part for a hoist, elevator, escalator, conveyor machine, bucket, grab, bulldozer blade or drilling machine
Replacement fork carriage for another truck with a lifting and moving device, rather than a part for any of the machinery named in the neighbouring categories
