8701.23.00.80 - Used

This HTS classification specifically covers used road tractors designed for semi-trailers, which are equipped with a propulsion system that utilizes both a spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and an electric motor. These vehicles are designed for the primary purpose of towing semi-trailers on roadways and are characterized by this hybrid powertrain. The "used" designation signifies that these tractors have been previously owned and operated, impacting their valuation and potential duty rates.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, which likely covers new vehicles of the same type. While both categories deal with road tractors for semi-trailers with hybrid powertrains, the key differentiator here is the "used" status. This implies that goods classified under this code have a history of operation and are not factory new. Further distinctions would be made at lower levels of the HTS if other propulsion types or specific features were applicable.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is considered specific enough at this level to encompass all relevant items meeting the criteria of being a used road tractor for semi-trailers with a spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and an electric motor for propulsion. Therefore, classification decisions for such goods will be concluded at this precise code.
