HS code for Gasoline cargo truck: 8704.32
Vehicles, with only spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine, for transport of goods, (of a g.v.w. exceeding 5 tonnes), n.e.c. in item no 8704.1.
Classification of gasoline cargo truck under HS 8704.32
Gasoline cargo trucks with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) exceeding 5 tonnes are classified under HS code 8704.32. This classification is determined by three primary factors: the purpose of the vehicle (transport of goods), the type of engine (spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine), and the weight capacity. Heading 8704 covers motor vehicles for the transport of goods. Subheading 8704.32 specifically targets those with gasoline engines and a GVW over 5 tonnes. This distinguishes them from diesel-powered trucks and lighter gasoline-powered delivery vehicles. The classification requires precise documentation of the vehicle's technical specifications, including engine displacement and maximum load capacity. In many markets, gasoline engines for heavy trucks are less common than diesel, but they remain a distinct category in the Harmonized System. The GVW is the maximum weight of the vehicle including its load, fuel, and occupants as specified by the manufacturer. This code excludes vehicles designed for the transport of persons (8702/8703) and special purpose vehicles (8705).

Codes often confused with 8704.32
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 8704.22, which is for diesel-powered trucks (compression-ignition) of the same weight class. Another frequent error is 8704.31, which covers gasoline trucks with a GVW of 5 tonnes or less. Importers must verify the engine type and the GVW on the manufacturer's certificate of origin to ensure the correct subheading is applied.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
