8703.32.01.50 - Used 🖩

This HTS classification covers used motor vehicles, specifically cars and similar vehicles designed primarily for transporting persons, that are equipped with a compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel). The engine in question must have a cylinder capacity that falls within the range of exceeding 1,500 cubic centimeters but not exceeding 2,500 cubic centimeters. This category is distinct from new vehicles of the same specifications, which are classified under sibling code 8703.32.01.10.

The distinguishing factor for this particular sub-heading is the "used" status of the vehicle, as opposed to its original factory condition. While the engine type, cylinder capacity, and primary design for passenger transport are shared with other classifications within heading 8703, the condition of the vehicle is the defining characteristic here. This classification applies to vehicles that have been previously owned and operated, regardless of their specific model or manufacturer, as long as they meet the engine and passenger transport criteria.

As this classification (8703.32.01.50) represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to detail. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying used vehicles that fit the specified engine parameters and passenger transport purpose. Importers and exporters should ensure that the vehicle's condition as "used" is verifiable and that the engine specifications precisely match the 1,501 cc to 2,500 cc range for accurate classification.
