Analysis
HTS 8703.60.00 covers motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons (other than those of heading 8702), including station wagons and racing… under heading 8703 (motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 13 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
The general duty rate is 2.5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 87 (67th percentile of 212 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $250 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The ten-digit suffixes separate of a cylinder capacity not exceeding…, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,000…, motor homes, having engines with not more than 4…, having engines with more than 4… and having engines with more than 6… and 7 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.5%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
