About HS Code 840732

This category encompasses spark-ignition reciprocating piston engines with a cylinder capacity ranging from over 50cc up to 250cc, specifically designed for vehicles in Chapter 87. This includes engines for a wide range of motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, and some small cars or utility vehicles. The global trade in these engines is robust, catering to both personal transportation needs and recreational markets. Countries with strong automotive and motorcycle manufacturing sectors, particularly in Asia, are dominant exporters. Importers include vehicle assembly plants, parts distributors, and aftermarket retailers across the globe. Key factors influencing trade are engine performance, fuel economy, durability, and compliance with regional emissions regulations, which vary significantly. The market is highly competitive, with a focus on balancing cost, power, and environmental impact for mass-market vehicles.
