8711.20.00.30 - Exceeding 50 cc but not exceeding 90 cc

This HTS category, 8711.20.00.30, specifically classifies motorcycles, mopeds, and cycles equipped with an auxiliary motor, where the internal combustion piston engine's cylinder capacity falls within a precise range: exceeding 50 cubic centimeters (cc) but not exceeding 90 cc. This classification applies to vehicles designed for personal transportation and recreation that utilize a gasoline-powered engine within this defined displacement. Examples include smaller displacement motor scooters and entry-level motorcycles designed for urban commuting or recreational use.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS code 8711.20.00.60 covers vehicles with engines exceeding 90 cc but not exceeding 190 cc, while 8711.20.00.90 encompasses those with engines exceeding 190 cc but not exceeding 250 cc. Therefore, the defining characteristic for classification into 8711.20.00.30 is strictly the engine's cylinder capacity falling between 50 cc and 90 cc inclusive.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is solely determined by the engine's displacement as described. When making a classification determination, professionals should verify the manufacturer's specifications regarding the engine's cubic centimeter capacity to ensure accurate placement within this specific tariff line.
