Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 871130 when importing or exporting motorcycles and cycles that have an internal combustion piston engine with a cylinder capacity exceeding 250cc but not exceeding 500cc. For example, a shipment of a 400cc motorcycle would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers motorcycles and cycles equipped with an auxiliary motor, which can include models like cruisers, touring bikes, or sport bikes. In contrast, HS-6 871120 applies to motorcycles with smaller engines, specifically those not exceeding 250cc.
When classifying under this code, note that the inclusion of side-cars does not affect the classification. For instance, a 300cc motorcycle with a side-car also qualifies under this HS-6 line.
If you're unsure about the engine size, remember that the classification hinges on the cylinder capacity. Always check the specifications of the motorcycle to ensure accurate classification.
