How to choose the right subheading

Identify whether the article is a complete locomotive or car, or a part of one; heading 8607 covers parts only.
Decide the part group: truck assembly, axle, wheel, brake, coupling device or buffer, or other part.
Check whether the part is for a vehicle of heading 8605 or 8606, because some subheadings have separate lines for those vehicles.
For truck parts, distinguish complete truck assemblies from components such as bolsters and side frames.
For couplers, distinguish assembled freight rail couplers from coupler parts.
