Chapter 87 covers vehicles and their parts and accessories in the Harmonized System, excluding railway and tramway vehicles. This chapter includes motor vehicles, tractors, motorcycles, bicycles, wheelchairs, baby carriages, etc., as well as parts and accessories specially designed or principally designed for these vehicles. Classification under this chapter requires attention to whether the parts are specially designed for a particular type of vehicle, and whether they are goods more specifically named in other chapters. Heading 8711 covers motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, and their parts. Specifically, it includes: motorcycles, mopeds, cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor (whether or not with sidecars), and parts specially designed or principally designed for the above vehicles. However, note that certain general-purpose parts may be classified under other headings. First 2 digits 87: represents Chapter 87 'Vehicles and their parts and accessories, excluding railway and tramway vehicles'. Digits 3-4, 11: represents heading 8711 'Motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without sidecars; sidecars'. Digits 5-6, 90: represents subheading 8711.90 'Parts', i.e., parts specially designed or principally designed for vehicles of heading 8711. Therefore, the complete meaning of 871190 is parts for motorcycles and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor. The goods are parts for motorcycles or cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, not complete vehicles. Complete vehicles are classified under the first few subheadings of 8711 (such as 8711.10, 8711.20, etc.), while parts are specifically classified under 8711.90. If the parts are general-purpose parts (such as bolts, washers), they may be classified under Chapter 73 or Chapter 39, etc.; if the parts are specially designed for other vehicles, they are classified under the corresponding heading. Therefore, only parts specially designed or principally designed for vehicles of 8711 are classified under this code.

Product Name: The specific name of the declared commodity, which should accurately reflect the function or use of the part, such as 'motorcycle engine piston', 'motorcycle frame', etc. Use: State that the part is specially designed for motorcycles or cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, such as 'for motorcycle engines', 'for motorcycle braking systems'. Material: Declare the main material of the part, such as 'aluminum alloy', 'cast iron', 'plastic', etc. Material affects classification (e.g., plastic parts may be classified under Chapter 39). Brand: Declare the brand of the part; if no brand, fill in 'no brand'. Brand helps confirm the source of the part and applicable vehicle models. Model: Declare the model or part number of the part, used to precisely identify the part and avoid confusion with other parts. Applicable Vehicle Model: Declare the motorcycle or cycle model to which the part applies, such as 'applicable to XX brand XX model motorcycle'. Whether General-Purpose Part: Declare whether the part is a general-purpose part (such as standard bolts, washers). General-purpose parts may be classified under other chapters. Product Name: Motorcycle engine piston; Use: Specially designed for motorcycle engines; Material: Aluminum alloy; Brand: XX; Model: ABC123; Applicable Vehicle Model: Applicable to XX brand 150cc motorcycle; Whether General-Purpose Part: No. Misreporting general-purpose parts (such as bolts) as special-purpose parts, leading to classification errors. Not declaring material, making it impossible to determine whether it is a special-purpose part made of plastic or rubber, etc. False declaration of brand and model may involve infringement or lead to inspection failure.

The core criterion for classification is: whether the part is specially designed or principally designed for motorcycles and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor of heading 8711. If the part is of a general-purpose nature (such as standard fasteners), it should be classified according to material under Chapter 73, Chapter 39, etc.; if the part is specially designed for other vehicles (such as automobiles), it is classified under the corresponding heading (such as 8708). At the same time, attention should be paid to whether the part is a commodity more specifically named in other headings, such as engines under 8407, brakes under 8714, etc. 8714 Parts for motorcycles and bicycles: 8714 covers parts for motorcycles (including mopeds) and bicycles, but 8714 does not include engine parts, while 8711.90 includes engine parts. In fact, 8711.90 is for parts specially designed for vehicles of 8711, while 8714 is for parts specially designed for vehicles of 8711 and 8712, but 8714 explicitly excludes engines. 8708 Parts for motor vehicles: 8708 applies to parts for motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705 (such as automobiles, tractors), not motorcycles. If the part is specially designed for motorcycles, it should be classified under 8711.90 or 8714. 8407 Engines: 8407 covers spark-ignition or compression-ignition engines, including motorcycle engines. However, a complete motorcycle engine should be classified under 8407, while engine parts (such as pistons, crankshafts) specially designed for motorcycles should be classified under 8711.90. 7318 Iron or steel fasteners: 7318 covers general-purpose fasteners such as screws, bolts, nuts, whether or not for motorcycles. If the part is a general-purpose fastener, it should be classified under 7318, not 8711.90. 3926 Plastic articles: 3926 covers other articles of plastics. If a motorcycle part is made of plastic and not specially designed for motorcycles, it may be classified under 3926. However, if specially designed for motorcycles, it should still be classified under 8711.90. Is the part specially designed for motorcycles or cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor? Is the part a general-purpose part (such as standard bolts)? Is the part more specifically named in other headings (such as engines under 8407)? Does the material of the part affect classification (such as plastic, rubber)? Have the product name, use, material, brand, and model been accurately declared?

How are motorcycle parts and automobile parts distinguished in HS codes? Motorcycle parts are classified under 8711.90 or 8714, and automobile parts under 8708. The key distinction is which vehicle the part is specially designed for. If specially designed for motorcycles, it should be classified under Chapter 87 motorcycle-related headings; if specially designed for automobiles, under 8708. General-purpose parts are classified by material. Which code should motorcycle engine parts be classified under? Motorcycle engine parts (such as pistons, crankshafts) specially designed for motorcycle engines should be classified under 8711.90. However, a complete motorcycle engine should be classified under 8407. Note: the classification of engine parts and complete engines is different. How to determine whether a part is a general-purpose part or a special-purpose part? General-purpose parts refer to parts that can be used in various machines without special design, such as standard bolts and washers. Special-purpose parts refer to parts specially designed for specific vehicles, such as motorcycle frames. The criteria include part design, use, industry standards, etc. What is the difference between 8711.90 and 8714? 8711.90 is for parts specially designed for motorcycles and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor of heading 8711. 8714 is for parts specially designed for vehicles of headings 8711 and 8712, but 8714 explicitly excludes engine parts. In fact, 8711.90 covers engine parts, while 8714 covers non-engine parts. What key information is required when declaring motorcycle parts? Product name, use, material, brand, model, applicable vehicle model, whether general-purpose part, etc. are required. This information helps customs determine whether the part is specially designed for motorcycles, thereby correctly classifying it. If a motorcycle part is made of plastic, should it be classified under 8711.90 or 3926? If the plastic part is specially designed for motorcycles, it should be classified under 8711.90; if it is a general-purpose plastic article, under 3926. The key is whether it is specially designed for motorcycles. How to check tariff rates when importing motorcycle parts? Tariff rates are determined by the specific HS code, country of origin, trade agreements, etc. You can check the Chinese Customs Import and Export Tariff or obtain accurate rates through customs advance classification services. Note that rates may change; it is recommended to refer to the latest tariff.
