Diesel-Electric Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, Non-Plug-In imports of $143K in June 2026 ran 153% above the year-to-date monthly average of $57K.
Last updated: June 2026 dataDiesel-electric hybrid passenger vehicles that cannot be charged via an external plug represent a relatively narrow but technically distinct segment, separated from gasoline-electric hybrids by the compression-ignition nature of the combustion engine and from plug-in diesel hybrids by the absence of external charging capability. Classification across the six tariff lines under this heading turns on two variables: displacement band (under 1,500 cc, 1,500–2,500 cc, or over 2,500 cc) and whether the vehicle is new or used, with ambulances and hearses carved into their own line (8703500060). Japan leads US imports under this heading, followed by Sweden and Germany—a supplier profile shaped by European commercial vehicle manufacturers that have experimented with diesel-hybrid drivetrains.

The manufacturer's technical data sheet or certificate of conformity should explicitly state that the vehicle has no external charging port or plug-in capability. CBP may also reference the vehicle identification number (VIN) decoded against the manufacturer's published specifications. Retaining this documentation in the import file is advisable in case of a post-entry audit.
Yes—beyond the obvious duty-rate implications, used vehicles may face additional scrutiny under EPA and NHTSA importation rules, particularly if they were not originally certified to US standards. The condition determination (new vs. used) is based on the vehicle's state at time of import, and supporting documents such as prior registration records or odometer certifications are typically required.
