Overview
This HTS category, 8711.10.00.00, specifically classifies motorcycles and cycles equipped with an auxiliary motor, provided that the internal combustion piston engine has a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cubic centimeters (cc). This encompasses a range of light-duty motorized two-wheeled vehicles, often referred to as mopeds or small scooters, designed for personal transportation where engine displacement is a key defining characteristic.
The primary distinction for this subcategory lies in the engine's size. Unlike sibling categories such as 8711.20.00 (50-250 cc), 8711.30.00 (250-500 cc), 8711.40 (500-800 cc), and 8711.50.00 (>800 cc), the defining feature here is the engine displacement being **at or below 50 cc**. Additionally, it is differentiated from 8711.60.00, which covers vehicles propelled by electric motors.
As 8711.10.00.00 is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies directly on meeting the criteria of having an internal combustion piston engine with a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cc. Examples would include traditional mopeds and certain very small displacement scooters that fall within this engine size limitation, regardless of whether they are fitted with a side-car.
