Rate structure for Chapter 87, read from the Budget 2026 customs annexure (indiabudget.gov.in), which records "Chapter 87: No Change" and so confirms the Budget 2025 restructure of 2 Feb 2025 is still operative: BCD 70% on cars (8703) and motorcycles (8711), SWS exempted on cars above US$40,000 CIF, AIDC 40% on those cars and 67.5% on used vehicles. GST per the 56th GST Council. NOT settled: whether a new car at or below US$40,000 CIF carries any AIDC (assumed nil here), and the TOR depreciation bands, which come from DGFT policy rather than the tariff.
