Chapter 87 covers all motor vehicles other than railway and tramway rolling stock, tractors, bicycles, motorcycles, vehicles for persons with disabilities, etc., as well as their parts and accessories. Note, however, that this chapter does not include certain specific parts, such as batteries, tires, internal combustion engines, etc., which are classified in other chapters according to material or function. As a type of motor vehicle, motorcycles have most of their dedicated parts classified in this chapter, but general-purpose parts must be classified according to material. Heading 8714 is specifically used to classify parts and accessories for motorcycles, bicycles, and similar vehicles, but note that this heading only includes parts specially designed or principally designed for these vehicles, and does not include general-purpose parts. Specifically included are: frames, forks, rims, spokes, hubs, brakes, transmissions, saddles, pedals, chain wheels, cranks, exhaust pipes, mufflers, etc. However, bearings, as general mechanical parts, are usually not classified under this heading unless they are special bearings dedicated to motorcycles. Code 871449 is a 6-digit subheading. The first 2 digits, 87, indicate Chapter 87 (Vehicles and their parts and accessories). Digits 3-4, 14, indicate heading 8714 (Parts and accessories for motorcycles and bicycles). Digits 5-6, 49, indicate subheading 871449, but note that in the actual HS code, subheadings under 8714 are usually 8714.10 to 8714.99, and 8714.49 may not exist in some versions. According to the information provided by the user, 871449 corresponds to bearings for motorcycles, which may be a subdivided code specific to a particular country or region. In the standard HS code, bearings are usually classified under 8482, but if they are bearings specially designed for motorcycles, they may be classified as vehicle parts. Therefore, it is necessary to determine based on the specific commodity description and classification rules. This commodity is classified under 871449 because it is identified as a bearing specially designed for motorcycles, rather than a general-purpose bearing. According to the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System, if a part is specially designed for motorcycles and there is no other more specific heading, it is classified under 8714. However, if the bearing is a general-purpose part, it should be classified under 8482. Therefore, the key to judgment is whether it is specially designed for motorcycles.

Product name: The specific name of the declared commodity, such as bearing for motorcycles Use: Explain which part of the motorcycle the bearing is used for, such as engine, wheel hub, gearbox, etc. Material: The main material of the bearing, such as bearing steel, stainless steel, ceramics, etc. Brand: Manufacturer or brand name Model: The specific model or specification of the bearing Whether specially designed for motorcycles: Clearly declare whether the bearing is specially designed for motorcycles Whether general-purpose bearing: If it is a general-purpose bearing, it should be classified under 8482 Product name: Bearing for motorcycles; Use: Used for motorcycle engine crankshaft; Material: Bearing steel; Brand: SKF; Model: 6205; Whether specially designed for motorcycles: Yes; Whether general-purpose bearing: No. Mistakenly classifying a general-purpose bearing under 8714, should be classified under 8482 Failure to provide proof of specificity, leading to classification disputes Model inconsistent with the actual item, affecting inspection

The core basis for classification is whether the bearing is specially designed for motorcycles. According to the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, 8714 only includes parts specially designed or principally designed for motorcycles and bicycles. If the bearing is a general-purpose part, it should be classified under 8482. Therefore, evidence of its specificity must be provided, such as design drawings, contracts, etc. 848210 Ball bearings: General-purpose ball bearings, not specially designed for motorcycles, classified under 8482 848220 Tapered roller bearings: General-purpose tapered roller bearings, classified under 8482 871410 Motorcycle saddles: Motorcycle saddles, belonging to other subheadings under 8714 871419 Other parts for motorcycles: Other parts for motorcycles, may include non-bearing parts Is the bearing specially designed for motorcycles? Is there evidence to support specificity? Is it a general-purpose bearing? Is the model consistent with the actual item? Is additional explanation required?

Which HS code should bearings for motorcycles be classified under? If the bearing is specially designed for motorcycles, it should be classified under 8714; if it is a general-purpose bearing, it should be classified under 8482. Judgment should be based on actual use and design. How to prove that a bearing is specially designed for motorcycles? Design drawings, contracts, invoices, etc. can be provided to prove that the bearing is only used for specific parts of motorcycles and cannot be used for other machinery. If a bearing can be used for both motorcycles and other machinery, how should it be classified? If the bearing is a general-purpose part, it should be classified under 8482; if it is principally designed for motorcycles, it should be classified under 8714. Does code 871449 exist in the standard HS? In the standard HS code, subheadings under 8714 are usually 8714.10 to 8714.99. 8714.49 may be a country-specific subdivision, and the local tariff schedule should be consulted. What elements need attention when declaring? It is necessary to declare the product name, use, material, brand, model, whether specially designed for motorcycles, etc., ensuring consistency with the actual item. What are the consequences of incorrect classification? It may lead to customs inspection, tax supplements, fines, and even affect the enterprise's credit rating. How to query the accurate HS code? You can refer to the Import and Export Tariff or consult customs and professional customs brokers, and you can also use the classification query system of the General Administration of Customs. What is the tariff rate for bearings for motorcycles? Tariff rates change, and the latest tariff schedule should be consulted.
