About HTS 9813.00.35
HTS code 9813.00.35 classifies imports of: Automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, airships, balloons, boats, racing shells and similar vehicles and craft, and the usual equipment of the foregoing; all the foregoing which are brought temporarily into the United States by nonresidents for the purpose of taking part in races or other specific contests. This line sits within Chapter 98, Section XXII (Special Classification Provisions), and is catalogued as a heading in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. The schedule specifies ad valorem (percentage-of-value) duty for this line. Getting the classification right is the single most important step in import compliance — a wrong code can mean overpayment of duty, shipment delays, or penalties at the border.
The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 9813.00.35 is Free, under bond, as prescribed in U.S. note 1 to this subchapter, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (AU,BH,CL,IL,JO,KR, MA,OM, P,PA,PE,S,SG)" may reduce or eliminate duty when goods qualify under a free trade agreement such as USMCA, CAFTA-DR, or one of the bilateral FTAs. The Column 2 rate of Free, under bond, as prescribed in U.S. note 1 to this subchapter applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea — a much higher historical "full" tariff.
