Customs code · HS subheading 8704 51

Final code reached

New hybrid goods vehicle up to 5 tons, petrol engine over 2,800 cm³

This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU the declaration uses 8704 51 31 00: this code with 00 added.

This code covers new motor vehicles for carrying goods with both a spark-ignition piston engine and an electric motor for propulsion. The vehicle must have a total weight of <= 5 tons and an engine capacity of > 2,800 cm³, and it excludes the stated dumpers, special-purpose vehicles and Euratom vehicles.

For example

  • A new hybrid motor vehicle for carrying goods, with a spark-ignition piston engine over 2,800 cm³, an electric propulsion motor and a total weight of <= 5 tons
  • A new hybrid goods van with a spark-ignition piston engine over 2,800 cm³, an electric propulsion motor and a total weight of <= 5 tons
  • A new hybrid goods pickup with a spark-ignition piston engine over 2,800 cm³, an electric propulsion motor and a total weight of <= 5 tons

Before you use the code

Check the facts that sit outside the code

The code can be right while what you pay still changes, because of where the goods come from, when they arrive, or extra EU measures.

Classify your own product, free Look up the current rates and rules
  1. The product and its form Check that your product really matches this description, including what it is made of and the form it arrives in.
  2. Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
  3. Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with Toldstyrelsen or TARIC.

Rates, origin and documents

Read the signals first. Open only the ones you want to check.

Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.

Data of Sept. 1, 2026

Customs also asks for the quantity in number of items

Required

The declaration asks for the actual quantity in number of items. It replaces neither the net mass nor the value: those come on top.

Example: if the quantity in number of items is 24, the declaration carries the number 24 in that field.

Possible

Preferential rates exist for goods originating in:

  • Andorra
  • San Marino
  • Türkiye
  • European Union
  • Comoros (excluding Mayotte), Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and dependencies and Zimbabwe
  • Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique and Namibia
  • Western Sahara

Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.
