HS Code for Dirt bike engine
Engines for dirt bikes are classified under Chapter 84, which includes nuclear reactors, boilers, and mechanical appliances. Heading 8407 covers spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines. For engines used in the propulsion of vehicles of Chapter 87 (which includes motorcycles and dirt bikes), the classification is further refined by cylinder capacity. Subheading 8407.32 is used for engines with a displacement exceeding 50cc but not exceeding 250cc. This classification applies to the complete engine assembly, which typically includes the cylinder block, head, crankshaft, and pistons. It is important to distinguish the complete engine from individual parts. The engine's intended use in a vehicle and its specific displacement are the primary factors in determining this HS code. According to Section XVI Note 2, parts of machines are generally classified in their respective headings, but a complete engine is a machine in its own right under 8407.
Products Included
- Complete 125cc 2-stroke dirt bike engines
- 250cc 4-stroke motorcycle engines
- Replacement crate engines for off-road bikes

Common Misclassification
The most frequent misclassification is using 8409.91, which is for parts suitable for use solely or principally with spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines. If the engine is complete, it must be in 8407. Additionally, engines exceeding 250cc must be moved to 8407.33 (up to 1000cc) or 8407.34 (over 1000cc). Engines for non-vehicle use (e.g., stationary generators) fall under 8407.90.
FAQ
What is the HS code for dirt bike engine?
The HS code for a dirt bike engine with a displacement between 50cc and 250cc is 8407.32.
Does this code include the transmission?
