Last updated: July 2026 dataThe mid-displacement 1,500–3,000 cc bracket is the most commercially significant passenger car segment in US trade, encompassing the bulk of sedans, SUVs, station wagons, and motor homes. Eight 10-digit lines segment the heading by body type, cylinder count, and new/used status — from motor homes (8703230110) and compact station wagons (8703230120) through multi-cylinder passenger vehicles and used vehicles (8703230190). Mexico and Japan lead supply, with Germany, Canada, and South Korea rounding out the top sources. German-origin luxury vehicles and Japanese mainstream models dominate volume, and the heading is subject to ongoing Section 232 national-security tariff scrutiny affecting European and Asian suppliers.

The US 10-digit lines under 8703.23 distinguish vehicles by number of cylinders: four cylinders and under (e.g., 8703230140, 8703230145), over four but not over six cylinders (8703230160), and more than six cylinders (8703230170). The cylinder count of the engine as manufactured — not after any modification — governs classification, and importers should obtain engine specification documentation from the manufacturer.
Motor homes with spark-ignition engines in this displacement range are specifically captured under 8703230110, separate from standard passenger vehicles. A motor home is generally defined as a self-propelled vehicle with permanent living quarters; vehicles that are merely camper-equipped pickup trucks or towed trailers would not qualify and must be classified elsewhere.
