Importers of Passenger Vehicles with Spark-Ignition and Electric Motor (Non-Plug-In Hybrid) paid $443.7M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 14.77% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataNon-plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles — those combining a spark-ignition internal combustion engine with an electric motor but not rechargeable by an external power source — occupy a distinct tariff position from both conventional vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Japan and South Korea are the dominant suppliers, reflecting those countries' early leadership in hybrid drivetrain technology, with Canada and Germany also contributing meaningful volumes. The US schedule subdivides this heading extensively by engine displacement (under 1,000 cc through over 3,000 cc) and cylinder count, and separately identifies motor homes, ambulances, hearses, and used vehicles, making precise engine specification data essential at entry. These vehicles are also subject to Section 232 national security tariff considerations applicable to imported automobiles.

CBP classifies by the displacement of the internal combustion engine only, not the combined output of both powertrains. Importers should reference the manufacturer's certificate of origin and technical specifications sheet, which must state the ICE displacement in cubic centimeters. Discrepancies between the declared displacement and the vehicle identification number data can trigger a redelivery demand.
Yes — the US schedule includes dedicated 10-digit lines for used vehicles within the 1,500–3,000 cc range (8703400045) and over 3,000 cc (8703400090), separate from new vehicle lines. 'Used' is generally determined by whether the vehicle has been registered or titled in a foreign country prior to importation, and the distinction can affect both the applicable statistical reporting and any applicable trade-remedy scope.
