8711.90.01.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8711.90.01.00, designated as "Other," serves as a residual classification for motorcycles, mopeds, and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, along with their side-cars. It encompasses all such vehicles that do not fall within the more specific subheadings defined by engine cylinder capacity. This includes electric-powered vehicles within this product group, as well as any internal combustion engine powered vehicles where the specific cylinder capacity does not align with the ranges outlined in sibling categories.

Crucially, this category distinguishes itself by its exclusionary nature. Unlike sibling categories such as 8711.10.00.00 (engine capacity not exceeding 50 cc) or 8711.20.00 (exceeding 50 cc but not exceeding 250 cc), this "Other" classification is for vehicles that do not fit these precise engine volume parameters. It also covers cases where the primary propulsion is not an internal combustion piston engine, such as electric or hybrid powertrains, provided they meet the general definition of a motorcycle, moped, or motorized cycle.

As a leaf node, 8711.90.01.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this category hinges on the absence of a specific match within the more detailed subheadings of heading 8711. Importers and exporters should first exhaust all other available subheadings based on engine type, size, and presence of auxiliary motors before considering this residual "Other" designation. The presence of a side-car, when attached to a motorcycle or motorized cycle, also falls under this general heading and would be classified here if the vehicle itself is not otherwise specifically classified.
