8703.60.00.45 - Used

This HTS classification, 8703.60.00.45, specifically covers used motor vehicles designed primarily for transporting persons, excluding those falling under heading 8702. The defining characteristic of vehicles within this subcategory is their propulsion system: they must be equipped with both a spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and an electric motor, and possess the capability to be externally charged by plugging into an electric power source.

Vehicles classified here are distinguished from their "New" counterparts by their status. While both share the same technical specifications regarding engine types and charging capabilities, this category is exclusively for vehicles that have been previously owned and used. This distinction is crucial for determining applicable duties and regulations.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8703.60.00.45 is complete once the criteria of being a used, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with spark-ignition internal combustion engine, and an electric motor for propulsion, within the specified cylinder capacity range, are met. Practical classification will focus on verifying the vehicle's operational history and its compliance with the described hybrid powertrain and external charging functionality.
