Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 871140 when importing or exporting motorcycles with an internal combustion engine between 500cc and 800cc, such as a 750cc touring motorcycle or a 600cc sport bike. This code also covers motorcycles equipped with sidecars.
This classification is distinct from HS-6 871150, which pertains to motorcycles with engines exceeding 800cc. If your motorcycle has a 900cc engine, you would need to use that code instead.
The 871140 code specifically targets motorcycles and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, ensuring that only those within the specified engine capacity are classified here. It includes both standalone motorcycles and those with sidecars attached.
When shipping motorcycles under this code, ensure that you accurately describe the engine size and whether a sidecar is included. Misclassification can lead to delays or additional duties.
