Analysis
Subheading 8408.20 covers engines of a kind used for the propulsion of vehicles of chapter 87, within heading 8408. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
