8703.24.01.30 - Motor homes

This HTS category, specifically 8703.24.01.30, encompasses motor homes. These are self-propelled vehicles that are primarily designed for the transport of persons and are equipped with living accommodation facilities, such as sleeping quarters, cooking areas, and sanitary facilities, all integrated within the vehicle's chassis. The classification is limited to motor homes with a spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and a cylinder capacity exceeding 3,000 cubic centimeters.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 8703.24.01.10, which covers specialized vehicles like ambulances, hearses, and prison vans, even if they share similar engine specifications and body styles. While motor homes are designed for general transport and recreational living, the sibling category is for vehicles with specific emergency or correctional service functions.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8703.24.01.30 is final for eligible motor homes. When classifying, emphasis should be placed on the vehicle's primary design purpose as a dwelling unit on wheels, alongside its engine specifications, to ensure accurate classification.
