If classified as a cab-fitted motor chassis rather than complete tractor
Chapter note specifies motor chassis with cabs go to 8702-8704, not 8706 or tractor headings.
If designed primarily for agricultural or construction hauling, not road semi-trailers
Heading 8709 covers tractors of that type, excluding road tractors for semi-trailers in 8701.
