Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 871110 when importing or exporting motorcycles and mopeds equipped with an internal combustion engine that has a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50cc. For instance, a shipment of a moped designed for urban commuting falls under this code.
This code specifically applies to two-wheeled vehicles with small engines, distinguishing them from larger motorcycles classified under HS-6 871120, which covers those with engines over 50cc. If you have a motorcycle with a 125cc engine, you would need to classify it differently.
Motorcycles and mopeds fitting this HS-6 line may include models like electric scooters with small gasoline engines or traditional mopeds designed for short-distance travel. If your vehicle has a side-car, it still qualifies under this code.
When considering this classification, note that bicycles with auxiliary motors that exceed the 50cc limit will not fit here. Always verify the engine specifications to ensure correct classification.
