Chapter 87 covers 'Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof' in the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System. This chapter includes motor vehicles (such as automobiles, motorcycles), non-motor vehicles (such as bicycles, horse-drawn carriages) and their dedicated parts and accessories. Within the chapter, it is subdivided by vehicle type and part usage, aiming to distinguish complete vehicles from parts, parts of different vehicles, and general-purpose parts from dedicated parts. Motorcycles and their parts are mainly classified under headings 8711 to 8714. Heading 8714 covers 'Parts and accessories of motorcycles and bicycles'. Specifically, it includes: parts and accessories of motorcycles (including mopeds) (such as frames, wheel hubs, carburetors, brakes, gearboxes, etc.), as well as parts and accessories of bicycles (including non-motorized bicycles). However, it does not include general-purpose parts (such as bolts, springs) if their classification is not specifically listed, nor does it include engine parts (classified under 8409) or electrical lighting devices (classified under 8512). HS code 871426 is a 6-digit subheading. The first 2 digits '87' represent Chapter 87 (Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof). The 3rd-4th digits '14' represent heading 8714 (Parts and accessories of motorcycles and bicycles). The 5th-6th digits '26' represent subheading 8714.26, specifically 'Carburetors for motorcycles'. Note: Under heading 8714, there are also first-level subheadings such as 8714.1 (Parts of motorcycles), 8714.2 (Parts of bicycles), etc., and 8714.26 belongs to a further subdivision under 8714.1, specifically referring to carburetors for motorcycles. This code may be extended to 8 or 10 digits in some countries, but the core 6 digits are globally uniform. Motorcycle carburetors are dedicated parts of motorcycle engines, used to mix fuel and air. They are not general-purpose mechanical parts (such as valves of 8481), nor are they engine parts (such as carburetors of 8409 if used for other engines? But 8409 explicitly includes carburetors? Actually, 8409 is for engine parts, but heading 8714 explicitly includes motorcycle parts, and carburetors as dedicated motorcycle parts, according to General Rules of Interpretation 1 and 6, should be classified under 8714.26. If the carburetor is used for automobiles, it is classified under 8708.99; if it is a general-purpose carburetor, it may be classified under 8409 or 8481.

Product Name: The standard name of the declared commodity should be filled as 'Carburetor for motorcycles', avoiding colloquial terms such as 'carburetor assembly' or 'motorcycle carburetor'. Brand: Fill in the brand of the carburetor, such as 'MIKUNI', 'KEIHIN', etc. If no brand, fill in 'No Brand'. Model: Fill in the specific model or part number of the carburetor, such as 'VE26SS', 'CVK32', etc. Applicable Vehicle Model: Indicate the motorcycle brand, model, and displacement for which the carburetor is applicable, such as 'Applicable to Honda CG125'. Material: Fill in the main material of the carburetor, such as 'aluminum alloy', 'zinc alloy', etc. Working Principle: Briefly explain the carburetor type, such as 'plunger type', 'vacuum diaphragm type', etc. Contains Electronic Control Unit: Declare whether it has an electronic control unit (ECU); if yes, it may be classified under other codes. Customs declaration example: Product Name: Carburetor for motorcycles Brand: MIKUNI Model: BS26-187 Applicable Vehicle Model: Applicable to Yamaha YBR125 Material: Aluminum alloy Working Principle: Plunger type Contains Electronic Control Unit: No HS Code: 87142600 Quantity: 1000 pieces Unit: Piece Total Price: USD 15000 Origin: Japan Failure to indicate 'for motorcycle use', which may lead to classification under automobile parts (8708) or general machinery (8481). Confusing carburetors with electronic fuel injection devices, which should be classified under 8714.10 or 8543, etc. Ignoring brand and model declaration, customs may question the accuracy of classification. Inaccurate material declaration, such as reporting zinc alloy as aluminum alloy, affecting tariffs and regulatory conditions.

The core basis for classification is the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System and General Rules of Interpretation 1 and 6. Motorcycle carburetors are dedicated parts of motorcycle engines, falling within the scope of heading 8714 'Parts and accessories of motorcycles and bicycles'. According to the subheading structure of 8714, 8714.1 is for motorcycle parts, and 8714.26 explicitly lists 'carburetors'. Therefore, as long as the carburetor is dedicated to motorcycles, regardless of its material or working principle, it should be classified under 8714.26. If the carburetor is general-purpose or used for other engines, it may be classified under 8409 (engine parts) or 8481 (valves). 840991 Parts for spark-ignition engines: 8409 applies to parts for general gasoline engines, including carburetors, but if the carburetor is dedicated to motorcycles, it is preferentially classified under 8714.26. The difference lies in specificity: motorcycle-specific goes to 8714, general-purpose goes to 8409. 870899 Other parts for automobiles: 8708 applies to parts for automobiles (including tractors). If the carburetor is used for automobiles, it is classified under 8708.99. The difference lies in vehicle type: motorcycle use goes to 8714, automobile use goes to 8708. 848180 Other valves and similar devices: 8481 applies to general valves. If the carburetor is regarded as a valve-type device, but because it is dedicated to motorcycles, it should still be classified under 8714.26. The difference lies in whether it is a vehicle-specific part. 871410 Other parts for motorcycles: 8714.10 is a first-level subheading for motorcycle parts, but 8714.26 is a more specific subheading. According to General Rule of Interpretation 6, specific listing takes precedence. Therefore, carburetors should be classified under 8714.26, not 8714.10. Confirm whether the carburetor is dedicated to motorcycles. Confirm whether it has an electronic control unit (ECU). Check whether the brand and model are consistent with the actual item. Confirm whether the material declaration is accurate. Check the latest tariff rates and regulatory conditions.

What is the HS code for motorcycle carburetors? The HS code for motorcycle carburetors is 871426, i.e., subheading 8714.26. In some countries, it may be extended to 8 or 10 digits, such as 87142600 in China. When classifying, ensure the carburetor is dedicated to motorcycles. How to distinguish motorcycle carburetors from automobile carburetors? Mainly by applicable vehicle type: motorcycle carburetors are classified under 8714.26, automobile carburetors under 8708.99. When declaring, provide applicable vehicle model information, such as motorcycle brand and displacement. How to classify carburetors for electric motorcycles? Electric motorcycles typically do not use carburetors. If it is a carburetor for hybrid motorcycles, it can still be classified under 8714.26. However, parts for pure electric motorcycles may be classified under other codes, depending on specific functions. If the carburetor has an electronic control unit, will the code change? If the carburetor has an electronic control unit, it may be regarded as an electronic fuel injection device and classified under 8714.10 or other codes. It is recommended to provide detailed technical information and apply for advance classification if necessary. What elements need to be declared for carburetors during customs declaration? Need to declare product name, brand, model, applicable vehicle model, material, working principle, whether it contains an electronic control unit, etc. Specific requirements are subject to customs, refer to the 'Customs Import and Export Commodity Specification Declaration Catalog of the People's Republic of China'. What is the import tariff rate for carburetors? Tariff rates vary by country, trade agreements, and annual adjustments. It is recommended to check the latest 'Import and Export Tariff' of the General Administration of Customs of China or use customs classification query tools, or consult a professional customs broker. What are the regulatory conditions for carburetors classified under 871426? Regulatory conditions depend on national policies and may involve import licenses, CCC certification, etc. Specific requirements need to be checked in the latest 'Customs Regulatory Conditions Code Table'. If the carburetor is general-purpose and used for multiple engines, how to classify? If the carburetor is general-purpose and not dedicated to motorcycles, it cannot be classified under 8714.26. It may be classified under 8409.91 (parts for spark-ignition engines) or 8481.80 (valves). Classification should be determined based on its main use and design.
