Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 870324 when importing or exporting motor vehicles with spark-ignition internal combustion engines that exceed 3000cc. For instance, this code applies to luxury SUVs or high-performance sports cars equipped with large engines.

This HS-6 line specifically covers vehicles designed for transporting passengers, distinguishing them from other motor vehicles like trucks or vans. In contrast, HS-6 870321 includes vehicles with smaller engines, under 3000cc, which may be more common in everyday cars.

When classifying a vehicle, consider its engine size and design. Vehicles under this code typically feature advanced technology and higher performance, making them distinct from those classified under HS-6 870322, which includes vehicles with similar engine types but different specifications.

Be aware that the classification can impact import duties and regulations. For example, a high-end sports car may face different tariffs compared to a standard passenger vehicle, so proper classification is crucial.
