8711.40.60.30 - Exceeding 700 cc but not exceeding 790 cc

This HTS category, 8711.40.60.30, specifically classifies motorcycles fitted with an internal combustion piston engine where the engine's cylinder capacity falls within a very precise range: exceeding 700 cubic centimeters (cc) but not exceeding 790 cc. This classification applies to both two-wheeled motorcycles and those equipped with a side-car. The core defining characteristic for this classification is the engine size, aligning with a segment of larger displacement motorcycles.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8711.40.60.60, by the upper limit of the engine's cylinder capacity. While this node covers engines up to and including 790 cc, the sibling node begins its classification at 790 cc and extends up to 800 cc. Therefore, a motorcycle with an engine capacity of exactly 790 cc would fall under this category, whereas an engine of 791 cc would be classified under the sibling.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined solely by the engine’s cylinder capacity falling precisely within the 700 to 790 cc range. This ensures that specific segments of larger displacement motorcycles are accurately accounted for in trade statistics and for tariff purposes.
