Last updated: April 2026 dataLarge-displacement diesel passenger vehicles—those with compression-ignition engines exceeding 2,500 cc—occupy a niche segment in the US market, where consumer diesel adoption has historically been limited compared to Europe. The heading's four tariff lines (8703330110 through 8703330185) carve out ambulances and hearses, motor homes, and general new and used passenger vehicles separately, making precise vehicle-type documentation essential at entry. Canada and Germany are the top suppliers, with Japan also a notable source, reflecting both integrated North American production and European luxury diesel exports.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Ambulances and hearses with diesel engines over 2,500 cc are classified under 8703330110, a dedicated line separate from general passenger vehicles. Importers must ensure the vehicle's design and intended use are clearly documented, as misclassification between special-purpose and general passenger vehicle lines can trigger penalty proceedings.
Passenger motor vehicles, including large-displacement diesel models, are subject to Section 232 tariffs. The measure applies broadly to the vehicle category regardless of engine size, so importers of high-displacement European diesel sedans or SUVs should factor this trade remedy into landed-cost calculations.
