Chapter 87 covers all land motor vehicles, tractors, motorcycles, bicycles, vehicles for the disabled, etc., other than railway and tramway rolling stock. It includes complete vehicles, chassis, parts and accessories. This chapter does not include certain special-purpose vehicles (such as snowmobiles, golf carts, etc., depending on specific structure), nor does it include aircraft, ships, etc. The core characteristic is motor or non-motor vehicles used for carrying persons or goods, as well as their dedicated parts. Heading 8711 covers motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without side-cars; side-cars. Vehicles under this heading are mainly two-wheeled or three-wheeled, with the engine serving as auxiliary or primary power. It includes electric motorcycles, scooters, etc. However, it does not include bicycles (8712) and vehicles for the disabled (8713). First 2 digits 87: Chapter 87, vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock. Digits 3-4: 11: Heading 8711, motorcycles and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor. Digits 5-6: 40: Subheading 871140, motorcycles and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, with a cylinder capacity exceeding 500 cc but not exceeding 800 cc. Note: This subheading applies only to spark-ignition internal combustion engines (petrol engines); diesel engines are not classified under this subheading. The cylinder capacity of this commodity is between 500 cc and 800 cc, it falls within the scope of motorcycles, and it has a spark-ignition internal combustion engine. Therefore, it is classified under 8711.40, rather than 8711.20 (≤50 cc), 8711.30 (50-250 cc), 8711.50 (250-500 cc) or 8711.60 (>800 cc). If it is an electric motorcycle, it is classified under 8711.60 or 8711.90, not by displacement.

Product name: The specific name of the declared commodity, such as "motorcycle" or "cycle fitted with an auxiliary motor." Brand (Chinese and foreign language): Fill in the brand name of the vehicle, such as "Honda/HONDA." Model: The specific model or specification code of the vehicle, such as "CB500X." Engine type: Indicate spark-ignition internal combustion engine (petrol engine) or compression-ignition (diesel engine), etc. Cylinder capacity (displacement): Total engine cylinder capacity, in cc, must be accurate to the nearest whole number. Whether fitted with an auxiliary motor: Confirm whether the vehicle is a motorcycle or a cycle fitted with an auxiliary motor. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): Fill in the 17-digit VIN code, used to uniquely identify the vehicle. Vehicle state: Declare as complete vehicle (CKD/SKD must be noted) or knocked-down parts. Product name: motorcycle; Brand: Yamaha/YAMAHA; Model: MT-07; Engine type: spark-ignition internal combustion engine; Cylinder capacity: 689 cc; Whether fitted with an auxiliary motor: No; Vehicle Identification Number: JYARM33E8KA123456; Vehicle state: complete vehicle. Mistakenly confusing the displacement unit cc with ml, leading to classification errors. Electric motorcycles mistakenly classified by displacement; they should be classified under 8711.60 or 8711.90. Diesel motorcycles mistakenly classified under 8711.40; they should be classified under 8711.90.

Core basis for classification: 1) Whether it is a motorcycle or a cycle fitted with an auxiliary motor; 2) Whether the engine type is a spark-ignition internal combustion engine; 3) Whether the cylinder capacity is between 500 cc and 800 cc. At the same time, electric motorcycles, diesel motorcycles and vehicles with displacement outside this range must be excluded. 871130 Motorcycles, cylinder capacity 50-250 cc: Different displacement; 871130 applies to above 50 cc up to 250 cc, while 871140 is 500-800 cc. 871150 Motorcycles, cylinder capacity 250-500 cc: Different displacement range; 871150 is above 250 cc up to 500 cc, while 871140 is 500-800 cc. 871160 Motorcycles, cylinder capacity exceeding 800 cc: Displacement exceeding 800 cc, or electric motorcycles, diesel motorcycles, etc. 871190 Other motorcycles and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor: Includes electric motorcycles, diesel motorcycles, displacement ≤50 cc and other vehicles not elsewhere specified. 871200 Bicycles and other non-motorized cycles: No auxiliary motor, purely human-powered. Confirm the engine is a spark-ignition internal combustion engine. Whether the cylinder capacity is precisely between 500 cc and 800 cc. Whether the vehicle is a motorcycle or a cycle fitted with an auxiliary motor. Whether electric, diesel and other non-spark-ignition models are excluded. Check that the VIN code and vehicle state declaration are complete.

How can I check the tariff rate for HS code 871140? It can be checked through the official website of the General Administration of Customs, the International Trade Single Window, or professional databases. Tariff rates vary by country and trade agreement, and must be determined in conjunction with the country of origin, trade mode, etc. It is recommended to use the latest official version and note that tariff rates may be adjusted. Which HS code should electric motorcycles be classified under? Electric motorcycles are not classified by displacement; they are usually classified under 871160 (if displacement exceeds 800 cc or electric) or 871190 (other). The specific determination must be based on engine type and displacement; purely electric motorcycles are generally classified under 871160 or 871190. If the cylinder capacity is exactly 800 cc, should it be classified under 871140 or 871160? The subheading text of 871140 is "exceeding 500 cc but not exceeding 800 cc," so 800 cc should be classified under 871140. Only exceeding 800 cc is classified under 871160. How are cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor distinguished from motorcycles? It mainly depends on whether the engine is auxiliary in nature. If the engine is the primary power and the vehicle is designed mainly for motorized drive, it is usually regarded as a motorcycle; if it is mainly human-powered with the engine only auxiliary, it may be classified under 8711 or 8712, depending on the specific structure. What unit should be used for cylinder capacity when declaring? Usually "cc" (cubic centimeters) is used; "ml" may also be used, but it must be consistent with the invoice and certificate of conformity. Avoid using "L" to prevent conversion errors. Are there special requirements for importing used motorcycles under 871140? Used motorcycles may involve environmental, safety and other access restrictions, and relevant certificates must be provided. Classification itself is still based on displacement and engine type, but attention must be paid to national regulations prohibiting or restricting the import of used vehicles. What is the difference between 871140 and 871120? 871120 is for motorcycles with cylinder capacity 50-250 cc, and 871140 is for 500-800 cc. The displacement ranges are different, and the cylinder capacity must be accurately measured during classification. If a motorcycle has a displacement of 600 cc but has a diesel engine, where should it be classified? 871140 applies only to spark-ignition internal combustion engines (petrol engines). Motorcycles with diesel engines should be classified under 871190 (other), because subheading 871140 explicitly refers to spark-ignition type.
