About HS Code 871190

This HS code serves as a residual category for motorcycles and mopeds not elsewhere specified within heading 8711, fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without sidecars. This means it covers specialized, unique, or less common types of motorized two-wheelers that don't fit the specific engine capacity ranges (871110-871150) or the electric propulsion category (871160). This might include motorcycles with alternative fuel types (other than electric), very small engine capacities not explicitly listed, or highly specialized designs. Trade in this category is often niche, involving specialized manufacturers and specific markets. Importers and exporters vary widely depending on the specific product, often involving smaller volumes compared to mainstream motorcycle categories.

Products Under This Code

Specialized utility motorcycles, very low displacement motorcycles, alternative fuel motorcycles (non-electric), custom-built motorcycles, unique concept motorcycles

Real World Examples

Some specialized off-road bikes, custom choppers (if not fitting other categories), certain very small engine mopeds, experimental fuel cell motorcycles

Common Misclassification

This code is a 'catch-all' and is often confused with other 8711 subheadings if the engine type or capacity is not clearly defined, or even with ATVs/quads (8703) if they have a motorcycle-like design but are not street legal. Careful review of specific characteristics is crucial.
