Overview
This HTS category, 8716.39.00.30, specifically classifies "Other trailers and semi-trailers for the transport of goods" that are designed for use with vehicles classified under heading 8703. This heading 8703 generally encompasses passenger motor vehicles, including cars, station wagons, and racing cars. Therefore, this subcategory applies to trailers and semi-trailers intended to be towed by these types of passenger vehicles, rather than by commercial trucks or specialized industrial vehicles.
As a leaf node within its hierarchical structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. The preceding levels establish that these are "other" types of trailers and semi-trailers, implying they are not specifically covered by more granular subheadings, such as those for tank trailers or refrigerated trailers. The defining characteristic for classification here is the intended compatibility with passenger vehicles of heading 8703, distinguishing them from trailers designed for heavier duty applications.
Practical examples that would fall under this classification include small utility trailers, boat trailers, or motorcycle trailers that are dimensionally and functionally suited for towing by passenger cars or similar vehicles. The classification relies on the trailer's overall design and stated purpose, ensuring it aligns with the towing capacity and type of vehicles covered by heading 8703.
