What is HS code 87022050?

This classification covers hybrid diesel-electric motor vehicles capable of transporting ten or more individuals, including the driver, that are specifically designated as motor cars or stretch limousines. These vehicles integrate both a diesel or semi-diesel internal combustion engine and an electric motor for their primary power. Within Chapter 87, these fall under the broader category of vehicles for passenger transport, distinguished by their hybrid propulsion system and specific vehicle type, excluding common public transport vehicles like coaches or minibuses.

For import into Vietnam, accurate classification hinges on the vehicle's design capacity for ten or more persons and its specific designation as a 'motor car' or 'stretch limousine,' rather than a bus, coach, minibus, or van. Importers should provide detailed technical specifications, including engine type (diesel-electric hybrid), seating capacity, and vehicle type designation, to differentiate these from other vehicles in heading 8702. The distinction between a 'motor car' capable of carrying ten or more and a 'minibus' is critical and often relies on design features, luxury appointments, and intended use as documented by the manufacturer.

Import-duty saving opportunity
MFN duty 70%drops to 0% under ATIGA (ASEAN)

A 70% gap - illustrated on a 100,000 USD shipment, that is roughly 70,000 USD saved in import duty.

But only if the shipment has a valid C/O and meets the rules of origin (RVC/CTC, etc.). The wrong C/O form or an RVC shortfall → duty reassessment and penalties at a post-clearance audit.

* The amount is illustrative only, not a commitment. The % gap comes from Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule; the preference actually granted depends on each shipment’s rules of origin.
