Overview
Category 8716 encompasses a broad range of non-motorized transport equipment, including trailers and semi-trailers designed for various purposes, as well as other vehicles that are not mechanically propelled. This includes a wide array of wheeled conveyances used for transporting goods or people, where propulsion is external. It is crucial to distinguish this category from others within Section XVII, which deal with self-propelled vehicles (Chapter 87), aircraft (Chapter 88), and vessels (Chapter 89). Unlike those, 8716 specifically focuses on the towed or pushed element of transport.
The subcategories within 8716 provide further detail on the intended use and type of these non-motorized vehicles. For instance, trailers and semi-trailers are further broken down based on their specific function, such as those designed for housing or camping, or specialized agricultural trailers equipped for self-loading or unloading. Other trailers and semi-trailers are classified as "other," indicating a broad residual category for goods transport not covered by more specific headings. Finally, the category includes provisions for parts thereof, allowing for the classification of components used in the assembly or repair of these vehicles.
