Chapter 87: Vehicles other than railway

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 871150 when importing or exporting motorcycles with internal combustion engines exceeding 800cc. For instance, a shipment of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a 114 cubic inch engine fits this classification.

This code specifically covers motorcycles and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, particularly those with larger engine capacities. In contrast, HS-6 871151 applies to motorcycles with smaller engines, under 800cc, which would not qualify for this line.

The 871150 classification includes both motorcycles and side-cars, emphasizing those designed for higher performance. If you're dealing with electric motorcycles, however, you would look at different codes under the same chapter.

When assessing your product, ensure it meets the cylinder capacity requirement. If your motorcycle has a capacity of 850cc, it clearly falls under this HS-6, while a 750cc model would not.
