What HS 8711.10 covers
This category includes motorcycles and mopeds fitted with an auxiliary internal combustion piston engine of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50cc, including side-cars. These vehicles represent the entry-level segment of motorized two-wheelers, widely popular in urban areas and developing countries due to their affordability, fuel efficiency, and ease of maneuverability. They serve as essential personal transportation for millions, particularly for commuting. Major exporters are often countries with large-scale, cost-effective manufacturing capabilities, while importers are diverse, ranging from individual consumers to fleet operators. The trade is influenced by local regulations regarding licensing and emissions, as well as the increasing competition from electric scooters. This segment is crucial for providing accessible mobility solutions globally, especially in densely populated regions.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
