Drive axles with differential for industrial assembly of specified motor vehicles

This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU, pick a 10-digit line below.

This code covers drive axles with a differential, including axles with other transmission parts, carrier axles and parts of these axles. They must be for industrial assembly of the specified passenger-oriented vehicles, goods vehicles with the stated engine limits, or special-purpose motor vehicles.

For example

  • A drive axle with differential for industrial assembly of a motor vehicle mainly designed for passenger transport
  • A drive axle with differential for industrial assembly of a goods vehicle with a compression-ignition piston engine with a cylinder capacity <= 2,500 cm³
  • A carrier axle for industrial assembly of a special-purpose motor vehicle
See the official tariff text

Official tariff text

Drive-axles with differential, whether or not provided with other transmission components, and non-driving axles, and parts thereof, for the industrial assembly of: pedestrian-controlled tractors, motor cars and vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, vehicles for the transport of goods with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine "diesel or semi-diesel engine" <= 2500 cm³ or with spark-ignition internal piston engine <= 2800 cm³, special purpose motor vehicles of heading 8705, n.e.s

  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.

On an EU import declaration

Pick the 10-digit line that matches the goods.

11 import lines

When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration needs a 10-digit code. Under 8708 50 20 the EU tariff has 11 lines, each with its own wording.

You or your customs agent pick the line whose wording fits the goods; the last line, "Other", covers what none of the specific wordings describe.

Some lines depend on what the goods will be used for and need customs authorisation; matching the wording alone does not give a lower rate.

  1. Match the whole wording A line is its own wording plus the grouping text above it. Read both before you settle on one.
  2. Check the intended use On some lines the lower rate belongs to what the goods will be used for, not to the goods alone.
  3. Confirm the authorisation Where the lower rate carries conditions, customs asks for an authorisation before it can be used.

A suspension is a lower rate the EU grants for specific products; whether your goods qualify depends on the line's wording and conditions.

Exports from the EU and Intrastat normally use the 8-digit code as it is.
