HS Code 84073405: Spark-ignition Reciprocating Piston Engines Used in Agricultural Tractors

The HS Code 84073405 refers to spark-ignition reciprocating piston engines that are specifically designed for agricultural tractors. These engines have a cylinder capacity ranging from over 1000 cc to 2000 cc. They are commonly used in the agricultural sector to power tractors and other agricultural machinery.

When it comes to international trade, the HS Code plays a crucial role in identifying and categorizing products. It helps in determining the customs duties, taxes, and regulations that apply to specific goods. The HS Code 84073405 is used to classify and track the import and export of spark-ignition reciprocating piston engines used in agricultural tractors.

One important aspect to note is the bound and MFN (Most Favored Nation) duty rate associated with this HS Code. The bound duty rate refers to the maximum customs duty that a country can impose on this product. On the other hand, the MFN duty rate is the rate applied to imports from most favored nations. In the case of HS Code 84073405, the MFN duty rate is free. This means that there are no customs duties imposed on the import of these engines.
