8703.60.00.40 - Having engines with more than 6 cylinders

This HTS category, 8703.60.00.40, specifically classifies new motor vehicles designed primarily for transporting persons that are equipped with both a spark-ignition internal combustion engine and an electric motor for propulsion. A key defining characteristic for this subcategory is the internal combustion engine, which must have more than six cylinders. These vehicles are also capable of being externally charged via a power source.

This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings based on the number of cylinders in the internal combustion engine. Whereas 8703.60.00.20 covers vehicles with four or fewer cylinders and 8703.60.00.30 includes those with more than four but not more than six cylinders, this category exclusively applies to vehicles where the internal combustion engine boasts a configuration exceeding six cylinders. This specific engine characteristic is the sole differentiator at this level of detail.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this point, based on the vehicle's primary purpose for passenger transport, its dual propulsion system (internal combustion and electric motor), its external charging capability, and critically, the specific engine configuration of having more than six cylinders in its spark-ignition internal combustion engine.
