8407.32.90.80 - Exceeding 18.65 kW

This HTS classification covers internal combustion piston engines of the reciprocating type that are specifically designed for propelling vehicles classified under Chapter 87 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These engines are further defined by their cylinder capacity, falling within the range exceeding 50 cubic centimeters but not exceeding 250 cubic centimeters. The defining characteristic of this specific subcategory, 8407.32.90.80, is that the engine's power output exceeds 18.65 kilowatts.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8407.32.90.40, by the power rating of the engine. While both classify reciprocating piston engines for vehicle propulsion with a cylinder capacity between 50 cc and 250 cc, 8407.32.90.40 applies to engines with a power output *not exceeding* 18.65 kW. Therefore, the critical differentiator is the engine's maximum power generation capability.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification is considered final for engines meeting all preceding criteria: being a reciprocating piston engine, intended for vehicle propulsion (Chapter 87), with a cylinder capacity between 50 cc and 250 cc, and a power output exceeding 18.65 kW. This level of detail ensures precise identification for customs purposes, particularly for engines used in a variety of light vehicles, motorcycles, or other mechanically propelled conveyances falling within the specified parameters.
