U.S. imports of plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles — spark-ignition & electric motor (HS 870360) totaled $491.1M in June 2026, traded with 14 countries.
Importers of Plug-In Hybrid Passenger Vehicles — Spark-Ignition & Electric Motor paid $72.3M in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $489.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: June 2026 dataPlug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) with a gasoline spark-ignition engine are classified here, distinguished from self-charging hybrids (870340) by their ability to accept charge from an external power source. The heading's twelve tariff lines mirror the structure of 870340, segmenting by displacement band and cylinder count, so importers must supply both engine displacement and cylinder configuration from manufacturer documentation. Japan, Sweden, and Germany are the leading suppliers, reflecting the strong PHEV product portfolios of automakers headquartered in those countries.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Section 232 tariffs on passenger motor vehicles apply to the vehicle category broadly and are not limited by powertrain type. PHEVs imported under 870360 are subject to the same Section 232 treatment as conventional gasoline or diesel passenger cars.
Importers need the manufacturer's technical specification sheet confirming (1) engine displacement in cubic centimeters, (2) number of cylinders, (3) plug-in charging capability, and (4) whether the vehicle is new or used. For the 1,500–3,000 cc band, cylinder count is the deciding variable between lines 8703600020, 8703600030, and the over-six-cylinder category, so a generic engine description is insufficient.
