8703.32.01.10 - New

This HTS category, 8703.32.01.10, specifically classifies new motor cars and other motor vehicles primarily designed for transporting persons. These vehicles are equipped with a compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine, commonly known as a diesel or semi-diesel engine. Crucially, the engine's cylinder capacity must fall within the range of greater than 1,500 cubic centimeters (cc) but not exceeding 2,500 cc. This precise engine size is a key determinant for classification within this subcategory, distinguishing it from vehicles with smaller or larger diesel engines.

The primary distinction for this category lies in the condition of the vehicle: it must be "New." This differentiates it from its sibling category, 8703.32.01.50, which is designated for "Used" vehicles meeting the same engine specifications. Therefore, for classification purposes, the manufacturing date and the absence of prior ownership or significant operational use are paramount.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. All vehicles meeting the criteria of being new, designed for passenger transport, powered by a diesel or semi-diesel engine with a cylinder capacity between 1,501 cc and 2,500 cc inclusive, will fall under this HTS code. Examples include new compact to mid-size sedans, SUVs, or crossover vehicles equipped with engines meeting these specifications.
