Last updated: April 2026 dataRecreational vehicle trailers designed for housing or camping — including travel trailers, fifth-wheel units, and folding camp trailers — serve the leisure and outdoor recreation market and are classified here based on their caravan-type design rather than cargo function. These units must comply with US Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and, where applicable, HUD manufactured housing regulations, depending on whether the unit is intended for temporary or permanent habitation. The North American RV manufacturing base means a significant share of US trade in this category moves under USMCA between the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Imported caravan trailers must conform to DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) applicable to trailers, and units intended for permanent or semi-permanent habitation may also fall under HUD's Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards. Importers should confirm compliance certification before shipment, as non-conforming units can be refused entry or require costly modifications.
Classification as a caravan-type trailer depends on the unit's principal design and purpose — housing or camping. A trailer with mixed features (living quarters plus cargo space) may be reclassified under a goods-transport trailer heading if the cargo function is deemed primary, so the design specifications and marketing documentation should clearly support the intended classification.
