Frequently Asked Questions About HTS 870332

Can I get duty-free treatment for goods classified under HTS 870332?

Check the Special rate column for your specific country of origin. You must provide origin certification to claim FTA preferences.
How do I know if I am using the correct HTS classification?

HTS Chapter 87 Classification Guide: Vehicles Other Than Railway
Chapter 87 covers vehicles — passenger cars, trucks, motorcycles, tractors, bicycles, and vehicle parts and accessories. Classification depends on the vehicle type, engine type, and intended use. The distinction between passenger vehicles (2.5% MFN) and light trucks (25% MFN, the 'Chicken Tax') is the most consequential classification decision in this chapter.
Common Misclassification Errors
- Misclassifying light trucks as passenger vehicles to avoid the 25% 'Chicken Tax' — CBP strictly scrutinizes vehicle classifications, especially for SUVs and crossovers
- Confusing vehicle parts under Chapter 87 with general-purpose parts under Chapters 73, 39, or 40 — parts specifically designed for vehicles belong in Chapter 87
- Failing to account for USMCA regional value content requirements (75% for vehicles) and new EV battery sourcing rules
Duty Calculation Tips for HTS 870332
Passenger vehicles face only 2.5% MFN duty, but light trucks face 25%. The classification of SUVs and crossovers is heavily litigated. USMCA requires 75% regional value content for vehicles and introduces new EV battery sourcing requirements under USMCA and IRA Section 30D. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin vehicles and parts. Additional 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs were implemented in 2024.
Chapter 87 Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 'Chicken Tax' on light trucks?
The 'Chicken Tax' is a 25% tariff on light trucks imposed in 1964 in retaliation for European tariffs on US chicken imports. It remains in effect and applies to pickup trucks, cargo vans, and certain SUVs classified as light trucks. This is separate from the 2.5% MFN duty on passenger vehicles.
Are Chinese electric vehicles subject to additional tariffs?
Yes. Chinese EVs face Section 301 tariffs plus an additional 100% tariff implemented in 2024 on Chinese-made electric vehicles, effectively making the total duty rate over 125%. This is the highest tariff on any consumer product in the US tariff schedule. The tariff applies to the vehicle value, not the battery separately.
What are the USMCA rules for vehicle imports?
USMCA requires 75% regional value content (RVC) for vehicles and major parts, up from 62.5% under NAFTA. New rules also require that 40-45% of vehicle content be made by workers earning at least $16/hour. For EVs, battery critical minerals must be sourced from USMCA countries or FTA partners to qualify for IRA tax credits.
How are vehicle parts classified under Chapter 87?
Vehicle parts and accessories specifically designed for vehicles covered by Chapter 87 are classified under heading 8708 (motor vehicle parts) or 8714 (motorcycle parts). General-purpose parts (bolts, wires, plastics) that are not specifically designed for vehicles fall under their respective material chapters (73, 39, 85, etc.).
Are motorcycles subject to the same duty rates as cars?
No. Motorcycles (heading 8711) face different duty rates than automobiles. Most motorcycles with engines over 800cc face MFN rates of 2.4-10%, while smaller motorcycles and mopeds have different rates. Motorcycles are not subject to the 25% light truck tariff. Section 301 may apply to Chinese-origin motorcycles.
