HS code 87046092 – g.v.w. exceeding 10 t but not exceeding 20 t
This classification covers electric motor vehicles specifically designed for the transport of goods, characterized by a gross vehicle weight (g.v.w.) exceeding 10 tons but not exceeding 20 tons. Under Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule: a preferential (MFN) import duty of 70%, VAT of 8/10 and measured in “piece”.
What is HS code 87046092?
These vehicles are exclusively propelled by an electric motor, distinguishing them from hybrid or internal combustion engine vehicles. They are typically used for medium-duty logistics, urban distribution, or specialized industrial transport where zero emissions and lower operating noise are advantageous. As part of heading 8704, they fall under the broader category of motor vehicles for the transport of goods, within Chapter 87 which encompasses all types of vehicles except railway or tramway rolling-stock.
Accurate classification for these electric goods vehicles in Vietnam often hinges on detailed technical specifications, particularly the manufacturer's declaration of the gross vehicle weight (g.v.w.) and confirmation of the propulsion system being solely electric. Importers should ensure documentation clearly states the vehicle's g.v.w. to differentiate it from lighter or heavier electric goods vehicles, which fall under different subheadings within 8704.60, or from vehicles with different propulsion types.

Special FTA preferential duties (2026)

A 70% gap - illustrated on a 100,000 USD shipment, that is roughly 70,000 USD saved in import duty.
But only if the shipment has a valid C/O and meets the rules of origin (RVC/CTC, etc.). The wrong C/O form or an RVC shortfall → duty reassessment and penalties at a post-clearance audit.
* The amount is illustrative only, not a commitment. The % gap comes from Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule; the preference actually granted depends on each shipment’s rules of origin.
