Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 870360 when importing or exporting hybrid vehicles that combine a spark-ignition internal combustion engine with an electric motor. For example, a shipment of a Toyota Prius, which can be charged via an external power source, falls under this classification.
This code specifically applies to vehicles designed for passenger transport that can operate using both gasoline and electric power. In contrast, HS-6 870321 covers purely electric vehicles, while HS-6 870332 is for conventional gasoline-powered vehicles.
When classifying vehicles, consider their propulsion systems. If the vehicle can be charged externally and has both an electric motor and a gasoline engine, it fits under this HS-6 line. This is important for compliance with regulations and tariffs that may apply to hybrid vehicles.
Ensure you have the correct specifications, such as the vehicle's engine type and charging capabilities, to avoid misclassification. This can affect duties and taxes upon import or export.
