Shopping trolley Hs Code

Shopping trolley harmonized system code

Product Overview The shopping trolley classified under HS Code 871680 is a wheeled cart designed primarily for the transport of goods, typically used by consumers during shopping activities. Constructed from durable materials such as steel or aluminum frames combined with synthetic fabric or plastic baskets, these trolleys feature ergonomic handles, foldable or fixed structures, and wheels optimized for smooth maneuverability on varied surfaces. Product variants under this classification include foldable shopping trolleys, insulated models for perishable items, and multi-compartment designs to accommodate diverse load types. The quality attributes emphasize corrosion resistance, load capacity generally ranging from 20 to 50 kilograms, and ease of assembly or disassembly for storage. These trolleys are predominantly utilized in retail environments, supermarkets, and food service sectors where efficient, manual transportation of goods is essential. Their design facilitates consumer convenience and promotes sustainable alternatives to disposable bags. The product's market positioning centers on durability, operational efficiency, and compliance with ergonomic standards, offering competitive advantages in terms of weight-to-load ratio and material sustainability. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications HS Code 871680 falls under Chapter 87 (Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock, and parts and accessories thereof), specifically within Heading 8716, which covers trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled. The six-digit code 871680 designates shopping trolleys and similar non-motorized wheeled vehicles designed for carrying goods. This classification is predicated on the product’s function as a manually operated transport device without self-propulsion. Trade considerations for these trolleys include packaging in reinforced cardboard cartons or shrink-wrapped pallets to safeguard against mechanical damage and moisture during transit. Preservation methods focus on rust prevention via protective coatings or desiccants in packaging. Shipping typically requires adherence to dimensional constraints for container optimization and weight limits to facilitate efficient loading. Quality standards are aligned with ISO 9001 manufacturing protocols and, where applicable, compliance with EN 1888 for safety in consumer use. Documentation must reflect precise product dimensions, weight capacity, material composition, and country of origin to ensure conformity with WTO regulations and expedite customs clearance across international markets.
