8703.70.00.65 - Motor homes

This HTS classification, 8703.70.00.65, specifically designates "Motor homes." These are self-propelled vehicles primarily designed for temporary human habitation, equipped with sleeping, cooking, and sanitation facilities. While they are motor vehicles for the transport of persons, their principal function extends beyond mere transportation to include living quarters.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 8703.70.00.60, which covers specialized vehicles such as ambulances, hearses, and prison vans. Those vehicles have distinct functional designs and purposes related to specific services. Heading 8703.70.00.65 encompasses vehicles that are equipped for recreational living and travel.

As a leaf node, 8703.70.00.65 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code hinges on the precise determination that a vehicle is principally designed for habitation and meets the broader criteria of heading 8703 as a motor vehicle for the transport of persons, and also satisfies the conditions of the preceding subheadings regarding its propulsion system (compression-ignition internal combustion engine and electric motor, externally chargeable) and engine cylinder capacity (exceeding 2,500 cc). Examples include RVs, campers, and recreational vehicles that incorporate living amenities like beds, kitchens, and bathrooms.
