8407.34.48.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 8407.34.48.00, specifically designates spark-ignition reciprocating internal combustion piston engines that are designed for installation in vehicles falling under specific subheadings of heading 8701 (tractors), or headings 8702 (motor vehicles for the transport of persons), 8703 (motor vehicles for the transport of goods), or 8704 (motor vehicles for the transport of goods). The primary criterion for inclusion here is the engine's intended application within these particular vehicle types and its inherent spark-ignition operational principle, with a focus on engines not falling into other more specific classifications.

This category serves as a residual classification for new or original manufacture engines meeting the cylinder capacity and vehicle application criteria outlined in the parent headings, but which are not specifically categorized under the sibling entry 8407.34.44.00. The sibling category exclusively covers engines that are either used or have been rebuilt, whereas 8407.34.48.00 is reserved for engines that are not in this "used or rebuilt" state.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to detail. Therefore, classification under this code hinges on confirming that the engine is a new, original manufacture spark-ignition reciprocating piston engine intended for the specified vehicle types and that it does not meet the criteria for any other more specific subheading. This would include engines designed for passenger cars, light trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and specific types of tractors that are not otherwise specified.
