Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 871120 when importing or exporting motorcycles and mopeds equipped with internal combustion engines ranging from 51cc to 250cc. For example, a shipment of a 125cc motorcycle would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers motorcycles that exceed 50cc but do not surpass 250cc, distinguishing them from smaller mopeds classified under HS-6 8711. If you have a motorcycle with a 300cc engine, you would need to look at a different classification.
