What is HS code 87032191?

These vehicles are primarily intended for the transport of individuals, distinguishing them from those designed for goods. They are characterized by having three wheels, a spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine, and a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cubic centimeters. This places them within Heading 8703, which broadly encompasses motor vehicles for the transport of persons, excluding public-transport type vehicles of Heading 8702.

Accurate classification for these three-wheeled vehicles often depends on verifying their primary function and technical specifications. Importers must confirm the vehicle's design intent (passenger transport versus utility or cargo), the exact number of wheels, the engine type (spark-ignition), and its precise cylinder capacity. It is crucial to differentiate these from three-wheeled motor vehicles designed for the transport of goods (typically classified under Heading 8704) or from motorcycles with sidecars (classified under Heading 8711), as their construction and purpose can sometimes appear similar.

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.
