Product classification
HS code for ATV engine: 8407.32
Engines, reciprocating piston engines, of a kind used for the propulsion of vehicles of chapter 87, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 50cc but not exceeding 250cc.
Classification of ATV engine under HS 8407.32
The classification of an ATV engine under HS code 8407.32 is determined by its mechanical design and displacement capacity. This code falls within Chapter 84, which covers nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Specifically, heading 8407 applies to spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines. Because ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles) are classified as vehicles under Chapter 87, their engines are categorized as engines used for the propulsion of vehicles. The subheading 8407.32 is reserved for engines with a cylinder capacity exceeding 50cc but not exceeding 250cc. This classification is essential for customs because it distinguishes small-to-mid-sized utility and recreational engines from larger automotive engines or smaller moped engines. The engine must be a complete unit or substantially complete to fall under this code, featuring the block, pistons, and crankshaft necessary for spark-ignition operation.

Codes often confused with 8407.32
Common mistake. A frequent error involves confusing 8407.32 with 8407.31, which is for engines under 50cc, or 8407.33, which covers engines between 250cc and 1000cc. Additionally, importers often mistakenly use 8408, which is strictly for compression-ignition (diesel) engines. Another common mistake is classifying individual engine parts under 8407.32; however, parts such as cylinder heads or valves must be classified under 8409.91.
Top exporters and importers of HS 840732 (the code used for ATV engine), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 840732 (the code used for ATV engine) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 40% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Mexico, with 34% of world imports.

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).
