8714.10.00 - Of motorcycles (including mopeds)

This HTS category, 8714.10.00, specifically encompasses parts and accessories designed for use with motorcycles, including mopeds. This heading broadly covers items that are integral to the functionality or comfort of these two-wheeled motorized vehicles, but are not the complete vehicle itself. Examples include components like frames, engines, transmissions, exhaust systems, handlebars, brakes, suspension systems, fuel tanks, and electrical components, as well as accessories such as fairings, luggage racks, and protective guards.

Unlike the sibling category 8714.20.00.00, which is reserved for parts and accessories of carriages for disabled persons, this heading exclusively pertains to the automotive and recreational sectors focused on motorcycles. It is crucial to distinguish that while both fall under the broader umbrella of vehicle parts and accessories, their intended application and the types of vehicles they support are entirely different. The "Other" sibling category at this level would capture parts and accessories for other vehicles within the 8711 to 8713 range not otherwise specified.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification of specific motorcycle parts. The subcategories, such as 8714.10.00.10 for saddles and seats, and 8714.10.00.20 for wheels, allow for more granular accounting and tariff assessment. The residual category, 8714.10.00.50, serves as a catch-all for any other parts and accessories of motorcycles not explicitly enumerated in the preceding subheadings, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
