Last updated: April 2026 dataGoods-transport motor vehicles not captured by more specific SITC headings — including specialized freight carriers, light commercial vans, and medium-duty trucks outside the dumper category — represent a broad and commercially significant import segment. Section 232 tariff measures apply to certain motor vehicles and parts, and importers should assess whether their specific vehicle type falls within the scope of active trade-remedy proceedings. Engine displacement, gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), and intended cargo type are the primary specification axes that drive both end-use suitability and HTS classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
GVWR is a primary classification criterion at the HTS level for goods-transport vehicles, with different tariff lines applying to vehicles below and above specific weight thresholds (commonly 5 metric tons and other breakpoints). The applicable duty rate and any trade-remedy exposure can differ significantly across these weight bands, so confirming the manufacturer's certified GVWR before import is essential.
Importers must file a DOT HS-7 declaration confirming compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and an EPA declaration for emissions compliance. Commercial vehicles may also require a formal entry with CBP, and if the vehicle is new and manufactured abroad, the importer of record must confirm country of origin for duty and trade-remedy purposes. A licensed customs broker experienced in vehicle imports can coordinate these filings.
