8707 Bodies (including cabs) for motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705: 8707 10 for vehicles of heading 8703 8707 90 other

This heading covers bodies (including cabs) for motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705. This heading covers not only chassis-mounted bodies, but also those intended for vehicles without chassis (in which case the body is itself a support for the engine and bridges); it also includes load-bearing bodies in which some elements of the chassis are incorporated into the body. This heading covers a wide range of bodies for different types of motor vehicles (e.g. passenger cars, trucks and special purpose vehicles). They are usually made of steel, light alloys, wood or plastics.

They can be fully equipped (i.e. with all their structural elements and accessories, such as dashboards, b trunks, seats and cushions, mats, luggage shelves and electrical equipment). Incomplete bodies are also included in this heading, for example those in which parts such as windshields or doors have not yet been fitted or in which the upholstery or painting has not yet been completed. Driving cabs (e.g. for trucks and tractors) also fall under this heading.
