8713.90.00.30 - Three-wheeled

This HTS category, 8713.90.00.30, specifically classifies three-wheeled vehicles designed for the transport of disabled persons. This includes a wide array of mobility devices, whether they are manually operated or powered by an engine or other mechanical means. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subheading is the presence of precisely three wheels, irrespective of whether the vehicle is intended for indoor or outdoor use, or its specific propulsion method.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 8713.90.00.60, which covers "Other" carriages for disabled persons. The key differentiator is the wheel configuration: 8713.90.00.30 is exclusively for three-wheeled variants. The sibling category would encompass vehicles with different wheel arrangements, such as four-wheeled scooters or hand-propelled wheelchairs that do not fit the three-wheeled specification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the identification of a three-wheeled vehicle intended for disabled persons. Practical considerations for classification under this subheading will focus on verifying the three-wheeled design and confirming the primary purpose of facilitating mobility for individuals with disabilities, aligning with the broad scope established by the parent category for "Carriages for disabled persons."
