What is HS code 87049093?

Vehicles falling under this category are typically medium-duty trucks, often used for regional distribution, construction, or specialized hauling tasks where the load capacity is substantial but does not reach heavy-duty levels. They are distinct from passenger vehicles and other specialized vehicles within Chapter 87, being specifically engineered for cargo transport, and are further delineated by their weight capacity within heading 8704.

For accurate classification in Vietnam, importers must provide documentation clearly stating the vehicle's gross vehicle weight (GVW) as certified by the manufacturer. This is crucial to differentiate it from lighter or heavier goods transport vehicles, which fall under different subheadings. The vehicle's primary design and construction for goods transport, rather than passenger carriage or special purpose functions, is also a key determinant for its placement within this heading.

HHNK phải chứng nhận trước khi thông quan (12/2022/TT-BGTVT PL1); Chứng nhận chất lượng ATKT và BVMT trước TQ (12/2022/TT-BGTVT và 62/2024/TT-BGTVT)

Article 6.3 of Circular 49/2026/TT-BXD repeals both Circular 12/2022/TT-BGTVT and Circular 62/2024/TT-BGTVT. The successor lists are split by medium and high risk level, no longer by whether certification happens before or after customs clearance.

Import-duty saving opportunity
MFN duty 70%drops to 0% under ATIGA (ASEAN)

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.
