U.S. imports of hybrid passenger vehicles — spark-ignition & electric motor, non-plug-in (HS 870340) totaled $3.0B in April 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Hybrid Passenger Vehicles — Spark-Ignition & Electric Motor, Non-Plug-In paid $481.4M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $2.8B in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Hybrid Passenger Vehicles — Spark-Ignition & Electric Motor, Non-Plug-In imports of $3.0B in April 2026 ran 14% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.7B.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSelf-charging (non-plug-in) hybrid passenger vehicles combine a spark-ignition gasoline engine with an electric motor that recharges exclusively through regenerative braking and the combustion engine—no external charging port is involved, which is the key classification boundary separating this heading from plug-in hybrids under 870360. The US schedule is unusually granular, subdividing by displacement band (under 1,000 cc through over 3,000 cc) and cylinder count (four, four-to-six, and over six cylinders), making engine specification sheets indispensable for correct line selection. Japan dominates supply under this heading, reflecting the early and sustained investment by Japanese automakers in self-charging hybrid technology, with South Korea and Canada also significant sources.

The dividing line is external charging capability. Vehicles under 870340 cannot be charged by plugging into an external power source—their electric motor is replenished only through the drivetrain. If a vehicle has a charge port enabling plug-in charging, it belongs under 870360 regardless of how small its battery is.
The US tariff schedule breaks the 1,500–3,000 cc band into separate lines for four-cylinder (8703400020), more-than-four-but-not-more-than-six-cylinder (8703400030), and over-six-cylinder (8703400040) configurations. Importers must confirm cylinder count from the manufacturer's technical specification sheet, as the engine displacement alone is insufficient to determine the correct 10-digit line.
