HS Code for Large car

Large cars, defined by their engine displacement, are classified under HS code 870324. This code is specifically for motor vehicles designed for the transport of persons that utilize a spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine with a cylinder capacity exceeding 3,000cc. The classification is part of a hierarchical structure based on engine type (gasoline/petrol) and size. For a vehicle to fall under this code, it must be a passenger vehicle (including station wagons and racing cars) and must not be designed for the transport of ten or more persons. The 3,000cc threshold is a critical boundary in international trade, often triggering different tariff rates and luxury taxes compared to smaller-displacement vehicles.

Products Included

• Luxury sedans with engines over 3.0L
• Large SUVs with spark-ignition engines > 3000cc
• High-performance sports cars (>3000cc)
• Passenger vans with fewer than 10 seats and >3000cc engines

Common Misclassification

Large cars are often confused with HS code 870323, which covers vehicles with engine capacities between 1,500cc and 3,000cc. A vehicle with exactly 3,000cc belongs in 870323, while 3,001cc and above belongs in 870324. Another common error is misclassifying diesel-powered vehicles under this code; diesel vehicles with large engines (over 2,500cc) must be classified under HS code 870333. Electric vehicles are also excluded, falling under 870380.

FAQ

What is the HS code for large car?

The HS code for a passenger vehicle with a spark-ignition engine exceeding 3,000cc is 8703.24.

Are hybrid vehicles classified under this code?

No, hybrid vehicles that combine an internal combustion engine with electric motor propulsion are classified under 8703.40 through 8703.60, depending on their charging capabilities.
