870332
Vehicles; with only compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), cylinder capacity over 1500 but not over 2500cc

Chapter 87: Vehicles other than railway
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 870332 when importing or exporting motor vehicles with a diesel engine capacity between 1500cc and 2500cc. For example, a 2020 model SUV designed for passenger transport with a 2.0L diesel engine falls under this classification.
This code specifically covers vehicles that utilize compression-ignition engines, distinguishing them from other vehicles in the same heading, like those with gasoline engines. If you have a vehicle with a gasoline engine, you would refer to a different HS code under the same heading.
When classifying vehicles, it's crucial to note the cylinder capacity. For instance, a vehicle with a 2.5L engine would not qualify under this code and would require a different classification. This specificity helps ensure compliance with customs regulations.
If you're dealing with vehicles that have a cylinder capacity below 1500cc, you would use HS-6 870331 instead. Understanding these distinctions is key for accurate tariff applications and avoiding potential delays in customs clearance.
