8704.60.00.00 - Other, with only electric motor for propulsion 🖩

HTS Code 8704.60.00.00 specifically classifies "Other" motor vehicles for the transport of goods that are exclusively propelled by an electric motor. This category encompasses a range of electric vehicles designed for carrying cargo where no internal combustion engine is utilized for the primary means of propulsion. Examples include electric vans, electric trucks, and electric utility vehicles designed for commercial or industrial use that solely rely on battery power.

This classification is distinct from other categories within 8704 which might include vehicles with internal combustion engines, hybrid powertrains, or those specifically designed for off-highway use, such as dumpers. The defining characteristic for 8704.60.00.00 is the sole presence of an electric motor as the propulsion system for transporting goods. It differentiates itself from hybrid electric vehicles (which have both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor) and vehicles powered solely by internal combustion engines.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 8704.60.00.00. Classification at this level is determined by the absence of internal combustion engines and the sole reliance on electric propulsion for the movement of goods. Therefore, any vehicle fitting the description of a motor vehicle for the transport of goods and propelled exclusively by an electric motor will fall under this specific HTS code.
