Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 870310 when importing or exporting vehicles specially designed for traveling on snow, such as snowmobiles, or golf cars. For instance, if you're shipping a snowmobile with a 600cc engine, this code applies.
This code specifically covers vehicles like snowmobiles and golf carts, distinguishing them from other motor vehicles under HS-6 870320, which includes vehicles designed for more general use, such as ATVs.
When classifying your product, note that HS-6 870310 is for vehicles that are not just motor vehicles but are tailored for specific environments, like snow or golf courses, unlike the broader category of passenger vehicles.
If you're unsure whether your vehicle fits this classification, consider the intended use and design features. For example, a standard car would not qualify under this code.
