8711.40.60.60 - Exceeding 790 cc but not exceeding 800 cc

This HTS category, 8711.40.60.60, specifically covers motorcycles and cycles with auxiliary motors where the internal combustion piston engine has a cylinder capacity exceeding 790 cubic centimeters (cc) but not exceeding 800 cc. This granular classification is designed to differentiate vehicles based on precise engine displacement, ensuring accurate duty and trade statistics. These are high-performance motorcycles falling within a very narrow engine size range.

The key differentiator for this category, 8711.40.60.60, compared to its sibling, 8711.40.60.30, lies solely in the upper limit of the engine's cylinder capacity. While the sibling category encompasses engines exceeding 700 cc but not exceeding 790 cc, this category applies to engines that narrowly exceed 790 cc, up to and including 800 cc. This precise boundary is crucial for applying specific tariff rates and trade regulations.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition of the engine's cylinder capacity. When classifying a motorcycle, professionals must verify that the engine displacement falls strictly within the 790 cc to 800 cc range to assign it to this specific HTS code. Examples would include motorcycles with engines explicitly rated at, for instance, 795 cc or 799 cc.
