Chapter 87 covers 'Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof' in the Harmonized System. Its scope includes motor vehicles (such as automobiles, motorcycles, tractors), non-motor vehicles (such as bicycles, horse-drawn carriages), and parts and accessories specially designed or principally designed for these vehicles. This chapter aims to distinguish complete vehicles from parts and components, and further subdivides them based on vehicle type and part usage. For motorcycles, their parts are classified under 8714, while complete vehicles are classified under 8711. Heading 8714 is titled 'Parts and accessories of motorcycles and bicycles', covering parts and accessories specially designed or principally designed for vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713 (i.e., motorcycles, bicycles, and vehicles for disabled persons). This heading is further subdivided, including frames, forks, wheels, brakes, gearboxes, clutches, steering devices, silencers, fuel injection systems, etc. It should be noted that certain general-purpose parts (such as bolts, bearings) may be classified under other chapters if they are not specially designed for motorcycles. Code 871427 is a six-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 '27' are the subheading, specifically described as 'Fuel injection systems for motorcycles'. In HS classification, the fifth digit usually indicates the first-level subheading, and the sixth digit indicates the second-level subheading. Under 8714 there are also multiple subheadings, such as 871410 (parts for motorcycles), 871420 (parts for vehicles for disabled persons), etc. Subheading 871427 is a subdivision specifically for motorcycle fuel injection systems, reflecting the precise classification of modern motorcycle electronic fuel injection technology. This product is a fuel injection system for motorcycles, which is a dedicated part for motorcycles, so it is classified under 8714 rather than 8711 (complete motorcycles). At the same time, it is not a general-purpose engine part, because its design, structure, or function is dedicated to motorcycles, so it is not classified under 8409 (engine parts) or 8481 (valves, etc.). In addition, a fuel injection system is different from a carburetor, which may be classified under other subheadings. Therefore, 871427 is the code that precisely corresponds to motorcycle fuel injection systems.

Product Name: The standard name of the declared commodity should be accurately described as 'Fuel injection system for motorcycles', avoiding colloquial names or brand names. Brand: Fill in the brand of the fuel injection system, such as Bosch, Denso, Keihin, etc. If there is no brand, fill in 'None'. Model: Fill in the model or part number assigned by the manufacturer, used to uniquely identify the fuel injection system. Applicable Vehicle Model: Indicate the motorcycle brand, model, and displacement to which the fuel injection system applies, such as 'Applicable to Honda CB400 2019 model'. Components: Explain the main components of the fuel injection system, such as injectors, fuel rail, ECU, sensors, etc., to facilitate customs classification. Working Principle: Briefly describe its working principle, such as 'electronically controlled fuel injection', to distinguish it from a carburetor. Material: Materials of the main components, such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, plastic, etc., affecting value determination. Origin: The country or region of manufacture, affecting tariffs and trade policies. Product Name: Fuel injection system for motorcycles; Brand: Bosch; Model: 0261S01012; Applicable Vehicle Model: Applicable to Yamaha YZF-R1 2018 model; Components: injectors, fuel rail, ECU, throttle body, oxygen sensor; Working Principle: electronically controlled fuel injection; Material: aluminum alloy, stainless steel, plastic; Origin: Germany. Misreporting the fuel injection system as a carburetor, resulting in incorrect classification under other codes. Failure to provide applicable vehicle model information, unable to prove it is dedicated to motorcycles, and it may be classified as a general-purpose engine part. Incomplete brand and model filling, affecting customs valuation and traceability.

The core basis for classification is: whether the commodity is specially designed or principally designed for motorcycles (heading 8711). According to General Rules of Interpretation 1 and 6 of the HS, and the chapter notes to Chapter 87, motorcycle parts not specifically named in other headings should be classified under 8714. The fuel injection system is a key component of a motorcycle engine, but its design, interfaces, and installation method are all specific to motorcycles, so it is a motorcycle-specific part. At the same time, heading 8409 (engine parts) must be excluded, because 8409 applies to general-purpose engine parts, while 8714 takes precedence for motorcycle-specific parts. Therefore, 871427 is the correct classification. 840991 Parts for spark-ignition engines: 840991 covers parts for general-purpose gasoline engines, such as pistons, connecting rods, etc. If a motorcycle fuel injection system cannot be proven to be dedicated to motorcycles, it may be mistakenly classified here. However, because it is dedicated to motorcycles, it should be classified under 8714. 848180 Valves and similar devices: The injectors in a fuel injection system may be regarded as valves, but the injectors are part of the injection system and are dedicated to motorcycles, so they are classified as dedicated parts under 8714, not as general-purpose valves. 871410 Other parts for motorcycles: 871410 is a general subheading for motorcycle parts, but 871427 is a subheading specifically for fuel injection systems, so 871427 should take precedence. 871120 Complete motorcycles: 871120 is for complete motorcycles, while 871427 is for parts. The fundamental difference between the two is whether it is a complete vehicle. Is the commodity dedicated to motorcycles? Does it have the complete characteristics of a fuel injection system? Are general-purpose engine parts excluded? Is it distinguished from a carburetor? Are the declaration elements complete?

What is the difference in HS codes between motorcycle fuel injection systems and automobile fuel injection systems? Motorcycle fuel injection systems are classified under 871427, while automobile fuel injection systems are usually classified under 8708 (automobile parts) or 8409 (engine parts), depending on whether they are dedicated to automobiles or general-purpose. The key difference lies in the applicable vehicle type: if dedicated to motorcycles, it is classified under 8714; if dedicated to automobiles, it is classified under 8708. How can one determine whether a fuel injection system is motorcycle-specific or general-purpose? It is mainly based on design, interfaces, installation dimensions, and applicable vehicle models. If the product is clearly marked as applicable to motorcycles and cannot be used for other vehicles, it is regarded as motorcycle-specific. When declaring, information such as applicable vehicle model and brand must be provided. How should individual parts of a fuel injection system (such as injectors) be classified? If the injectors are imported separately and are dedicated to motorcycle fuel injection systems, they should still be classified under 871427. However, if the injectors are general-purpose parts, they may be classified under 8481 or 8409. It is recommended to determine based on actual use and design. How can the tariff rate for code 871427 be checked? The tariff rate must be determined based on the importing country, origin, trade agreements, etc. You can check the customs tariff of the importing country or use the WTO tariff database. For imports into China, refer to the 'Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China' and pay attention to MFN rates, agreement rates, etc. When declaring, how is the price of the fuel injection system determined? It should be based on the actual transaction price, including all components of the system. If imported as a complete set, declare according to the complete set price; if imported separately, declare according to the individual part price. Pay attention to adjustments such as freight and insurance. If the fuel injection system includes an ECU, is the ECU classified separately? If the ECU is imported together with the injection system and constitutes a complete system, it should be classified together under 871427. If the ECU is imported separately, it may be classified under 8537 (control panels) or 8708, but if it is dedicated to motorcycles, it may still be classified under 8714. What certifications are required for exporting motorcycle fuel injection systems to the EU? Exporting to the EU requires compliance with EU regulations, such as Euro 5/6 emission standards, and may require ECE certification. The specific certification requirements depend on the product type and use. It is recommended to consult professional institutions. When classifying, how can one distinguish between a fuel injection system and a carburetor? A fuel injection system injects fuel through electronic control, while a carburetor mixes fuel mechanically. In HS codes, carburetors are usually classified under 8409 or other subheadings of 8714, while fuel injection systems have a dedicated subheading 871427. When declaring, the working principle should be clearly stated.
