8702.90.61.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 8702.90.61.00, applies to "Other" motor vehicles designed for the transport of ten or more persons, including the driver, that do not fall under more specific subheadings within 8702. This category is intended for vehicles whose primary function is the carriage of passengers and that meet the minimum passenger capacity requirement but are not specifically categorized elsewhere due to their unique design or intended use.

Crucially, this classification distinguishes itself from sibling categories like 8702.90.31.00, which is specifically designated for vehicles designed to transport 16 or more persons. Therefore, vehicles classified under 8702.90.61.00 would typically have a passenger capacity of between 10 and 15 persons, including the driver. The key differentiator is the precise passenger capacity and any specialized features that preclude them from being classified under more enumerated subheadings.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 8702.90.61.00 does not have further subdivisions. This means that any vehicle meeting the general description of a multi-person transport vehicle with a capacity of ten or more persons (but not 16 or more), and not fitting into other specific categories, will be classified here. Examples could include certain types of shuttle buses, large van-based passenger carriers, or specialized transport vehicles designed for specific organizational needs, provided they are not otherwise more specifically described.
