8702.10.61.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 8702.10.61.00, pertains to "Other" motor vehicles designed for the transport of ten or more persons, including the driver, that are powered by a compression-ignition internal combustion engine (diesel or semi-diesel). This specific subheading captures vehicles within this broad category that do not fall under more granular classifications, such as those explicitly designed for a larger passenger capacity.

The key distinguishing feature of this category is its residual nature. It serves as a catch-all for diesel-powered vehicles carrying 10-15 persons (inclusive of the driver) when no other specific subheading applies. For instance, a motor vehicle with a diesel engine designed to carry exactly 10 passengers, and not fitting any other defined subcategory based on passenger capacity or specific design features, would be classified here.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is complete at this level, meaning that the defining criteria for inclusion are fully met by the description and its position within the HTS structure. Any motor vehicle fitting the general description of Chapter 87, specifically designed for transporting ten or more persons with a diesel engine, and not explicitly covered by a more specific sibling category like those designed for 16 or more persons, will fall under this classification.
