CBP's answer: C. C: 8701.22.0015 and 8716.20.0000
The tractor has both a diesel engine and an electric motor, so it goes in 8701.22, new, G.V.W. not exceeding 36,287 kg (34,100 kg qualifies), giving 8701.22.0015. The agricultural self-loading semi-trailer is 8716.20.0000. Choice C is the pair.
With both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and electric motor as motors for propulsion 8701.22.0015
Self-loading or self-unloading trailers and semi-trailers for agricultural purposes 8716.20.0000
Search for: both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine
