8703.60.00.30 - Having engines with more than 4 cylinders but not more than 6 cylinders 🖩

This HTS category, 8703.60.00.30, specifically classifies new motor vehicles designed for the transport of persons. These vehicles are characterized by having both a spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and an electric motor for propulsion, and they are capable of being charged externally. Furthermore, the internal combustion engine within these vehicles must have a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 3,000 cc. The defining feature for this particular subcategory is that the internal combustion engine is equipped with more than 4 cylinders but not more than 6 cylinders.

This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by the specific cylinder count of its internal combustion engine. HTS code 8703.60.00.20 covers similar vehicles but with an internal combustion engine having not more than 4 cylinders. Conversely, HTS code 8703.60.00.40 encompasses vehicles where the internal combustion engine has more than 6 cylinders. Therefore, the precise number of cylinders in the combustion engine is the critical differentiator for classifying these plug-in hybrid vehicles.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. All applicable criteria have been met at this level, including the vehicle type, propulsion system (internal combustion and electric), charging capability, cylinder capacity range, and the specific number of cylinders (more than 4, but not more than 6) for the internal combustion engine. Consequently, any new motor vehicle meeting these precise requirements would fall under this classification.
