U.S. imports of gasoline-electric hybrid trucks, gvw not over 5 metric tons (HS 870451) totaled $288.1M in July 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Importers of Gasoline-Electric Hybrid Trucks, GVW Not Over 5 Metric Tons paid $24.5M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 8.9% on $274.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataLight hybrid trucks combining a spark-ignition gasoline engine with an electric motor, rated at or below 5 metric tons GVW, split into two lines: under 2.5 metric tons (8704510020) and 2.5-to-5 metric tons (8704510040). Mexico leads supply, followed by Australia and Japan — a supplier mix that reflects both North American light-truck assembly and right-hand-drive market configurations that occasionally enter the US as specialty imports. Section 232 tariff exposure applies, and importers must distinguish these gasoline-electric hybrids from purely electric light trucks (870460) and from diesel-electric hybrids (870441).

Australia and South Africa have historically produced or assembled light commercial vehicles — including hybrid-capable pickup and utility configurations — for export. Some units enter the US as specialty or low-volume imports, often for fleet operators or niche markets. Importers sourcing from these origins should verify NHTSA and EPA compliance carefully, as vehicles built for non-US markets may require modifications to meet federal safety and emissions standards.
The dividing line between heading 8704 (goods transport) and heading 8703 (passenger vehicles) turns on the vehicle's principal design and use. A hybrid SUV or crossover designed primarily to carry passengers classifies under 8703 even if it has a cargo area; a hybrid van or pickup designed primarily for goods transport classifies under 8704. CBP applies a multi-factor test including seating configuration, cargo volume, and manufacturer's marketing designation.
