16 September 2025 The base HSN code for goods/commercial vehicles is 8704.

Subcategories like 87042190 (for certain tonnage and specifications) or 87049019 (other lorries and trucks) might be used based on exact vehicle details.

16 September 2025 For goods transport vehicles (trucks, lorries etc.), the relevant heading is 8704.

Under HSN 8704, sub‑headings are based on Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) etc. E.g.,
• 870421 → goods transport vehicles, GVW ≤ 5 tons
• 870422 → goods transport vehicles, GVW >5 tons but ≤20 tons
• 870423 → goods transport vehicles, GVW >20 tons

The GST rate applicable on “used/old motor vehicles” when sold by registered suppliers has recently been (or is being) set at 18% in many cases.

16 September 2025 Given your description: old/used commercial HGV (Volvo puller, 2011), here’s what I infer:

The correct HSN heading will be 8704 (Motor vehicles for the transport of goods).

Sub‑heading will depend on its GVW (gross vehicle weight). For example, if GVW exceeds 20 tons, then 870423 would be correct. If less, then choose the relevant weight slab.

The GST rate for sale by a registered dealer / seller would be 18%, assuming the government notification that old/used vehicles by registered taxable persons are taxed at that rate applies.
