8711.50.00.60 - Exceeding 970 cc

This HTS category, 8711.50.00.60, specifically classifies motorcycles, mopeds, and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, along with their side-cars, when they are equipped with an internal combustion piston engine exceeding 970 cubic centimeters (cc) in cylinder capacity. This includes a wide range of high-powered motorcycles designed for various uses, from touring to sport riding.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 8711.50.00.30, by the precise threshold of engine displacement. While both categories fall under motorcycles with internal combustion engines exceeding 800 cc, this specific subcategory is for those engines that are larger than 970 cc, indicating a higher performance and often larger physical size of the vehicle.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8711.50.00.60 is determined solely by the criterion of the internal combustion piston engine's cylinder capacity exceeding 970 cc, assuming the item is indeed a motorcycle, moped, or cycle with an auxiliary motor, or a side-car. Accurate measurement and documentation of engine displacement are critical for correct classification.
