8711.40.60 - Exceeding 700 cc but not exceeding 800 cc

This HTS category, 8711.40.60, specifically classifies motorcycles and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, including those with side-cars, when they are equipped with an internal combustion piston engine having a cylinder capacity that exceeds 700 cubic centimeters (cc) but does not exceed 800 cc. This classification is crucial for distinguishing powerful two-wheeled vehicles from those with smaller engines, impacting duty rates and import regulations.

It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, 8711.40.30, which covers similar vehicles but with engines falling within the 500 cc to 700 cc range. The defining characteristic for 8711.40.60 is the specific engine displacement between 701 cc and 800 cc, thereby excluding vehicles with engines above or below this precise range.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on more granular engine capacity. The subcategories 8711.40.60.30 and 8711.40.60.60 separate vehicles with engines exceeding 700 cc but not exceeding 790 cc from those exceeding 790 cc but not exceeding 800 cc, respectively. This detailed breakdown allows for precise tariff application based on the exact engine size of the imported vehicles.
