The US tariff schedule separates new diesel passenger vehicles (8703320110) from used ones (8703320150). Condition at the time of importation—not original manufacture date—governs which line applies, and CBP may request documentation such as title history or odometer records to confirm used status.
Yes. Diesel passenger vehicles must comply with EPA emissions standards and NHTSA Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Vehicles not originally manufactured to US specifications may require costly modifications or may be ineligible for import. Importers should verify conformance before shipment.
