GE Evolution Series Diesel Locomotive Main Engine from Japan
This is the primary diesel engine assembly used in GE Evolution Series locomotives, powering the traction system. As a part specifically designed for locomotives and not interchangeable with other engines, it falls under heading 86.07 for locomotive parts. It is not excluded by Section Note 2(e) because it is not a machine of headings 84.01 to 84.79 but a part of a locomotive.

Import Tips
• Confirm the engine is not a complete diesel engine of heading 84.08; if it is, it may be classified elsewhere
• Provide evidence that the engine is designed solely for locomotive use, such as mounting specifications
• Check if the engine qualifies for duty-free treatment under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) if originating from the US or Mexico
