  "summary": "HS code 8608.00 covers railway or tramway track fixtures and fittings; mechanical (including electro-mechanical) signalling, safety or traffic control equipment for railways, tramways, roads, inland waterways, parking facilities, port installations or airfields; parts of the foregoing. It sits in heading 86.08 (railway or tramway track fixtures and fittings; mechanical (including electro-mechanical) signalling, safety or traffic control equipment for railways, tramways, roads, inland waterways, parking facilities, port installations or airfields; parts of the foregoing) in chapter 86 (railway or tramway locomotives, rolling-stock and parts thereof; railway or tramway track fixtures and fittings and parts thereof; mechanical (including electro-mechanical) traffic signalling equipment of all kinds). It is the only subheading of heading 86.08, so every good of the heading is classified here. National tariff lines under 8608.00 are live on border.bot for the United States (1 line, also used by 1 other country).",
