Overview
This HTS category, 8711.30.00.60, specifically classifies motorcycles, mopeds, and cycles with auxiliary motors that are equipped with an internal combustion piston engine. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subheading is the engine's cylinder capacity, which must exceed 290 cubic centimeters (cc) but not exceed 490 cubic centimeters (cc). This scope encompasses vehicles designed for personal transportation and recreational use where engine power is a primary consideration, including those with or without side-cars.
Distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. Subheading 8711.30.00.30 covers similar vehicles but with a smaller engine displacement, specifically exceeding 250 cc but not exceeding 290 cc. Conversely, subheading 8711.30.00.90 addresses vehicles with an engine capacity exceeding 490 cc but not exceeding 500 cc. Therefore, the precise measurement of the engine's cylinder volume is the sole criterion differentiating these closely related subheadings within the broader category of motorcycles and cycles with auxiliary motors.
As this is a leaf node within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. The classification concludes at this level based on the engine's cylinder capacity range. Therefore, any motorcycle, moped, or cycle with an auxiliary motor that meets the criteria of having an internal combustion piston engine with a cylinder capacity strictly between 290 cc and 490 cc will be classified under 8711.30.00.60.
