8407.33.60 - Other

This HTS category, 8407.33.60, encompasses spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines that are designed for installation in specific types of vehicles. These engines are characterized by a cylinder capacity exceeding 250 cubic centimeters but not exceeding 1,000 cubic centimeters. Crucially, their intended application is for propulsion in vehicles classified under subheadings 8701.21, 8701.22, 8701.23, 8701.24, or 8701.29, as well as headings 8702, 8703, or 8704, which generally cover tractors, vehicles for the transport of persons, and vehicles for the transport of goods, respectively.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 8407.33.30, by the intended vehicle application. While 8407.33.30 pertains to engines for vehicles specifically designed for snow, golf carts, non-amphibious all-terrain vehicles, and burden carriers, 8407.33.60 focuses on engines for a broader range of road-going or work-related vehicles falling within the specified headings and subheadings of Chapter 87.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the condition of the engine. The subcategory 8407.33.60.40 is reserved for used or rebuilt engines, while 8407.33.60.80 captures all other engines that do not fall under the "used or rebuilt" designation. This differentiation is important for various trade and regulatory purposes.
