8703.23.01.40 - Other

This HTS classification, 8703.23.01.40, specifically designates "Other" motor vehicles that are primarily intended for the transport of persons, fall within the broader category of vehicles with spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines, and have a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 3,000 cc. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that these vehicles do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within this engine capacity range.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, "Station wagons and passenger vans," by encompassing all other types of motor vehicles for passenger transport within the specified engine capacity that are not station wagons or passenger vans. This includes, but is not limited to, sedans, coupes, convertibles, and hatchbacks that meet the engine size and ignition type criteria but are not designed with the typical cargo and passenger configurations of station wagons or vans.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the practical application of this classification relies on a thorough understanding of the excluded sibling categories and the preceding criteria. Importers and exporters should meticulously verify that the vehicle's engine specifications (spark-ignition, piston engine, 1501-3000 cc cylinder capacity) and its primary design purpose (passenger transport) are accurately documented and align with the general scope of heading 8703, while ensuring it does not meet the specific definition of a station wagon or passenger van.
