8703.50.00.30 - New

This HTS category, 8703.50.00.30, specifically covers new motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, which meet a precise set of propulsion and engine specifications. These vehicles must be equipped with both a compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine and an electric motor for propulsion. Crucially, they fall into the subcategory of vehicles that cannot be externally charged, meaning their electric motor operates solely on power generated internally.

The defining characteristic for classification within this 8703.50.00.30 code is the inclusion of both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor for propulsion, coupled with the inability to plug into an external power source for charging. Furthermore, the internal combustion engine's cylinder capacity must fall within the range exceeding 1,500 cubic centimeters but not exceeding 2,500 cubic centimeters. This specific combination of engine types, charging capability, and engine displacement differentiates these vehicles from other hybrid categories.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, precise classification hinges on confirming the vehicle's "new" status, its primary design purpose as a passenger transport vehicle, the presence and type of both combustion and electric propulsion, the absence of external charging capability, and the specified cylinder capacity range of the internal combustion engine. Vehicles meeting these exact criteria will be classified under 8703.50.00.30.
