Motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without side-cars; side-cars
Analysis
Heading 8711 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without side-cars; side-cars. It divides into 7 six-digit subheadings and 8 eight-digit tariff lines, with 15 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
6 of its 8 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (75%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 2.4%. The median line pays duty-free.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 23rd percentile of the headings in chapter 87.
The largest subheadings are 8711.40 (with internal combustion piston engine of a…, 2 lines), 8711.10 (unnamed, 1 line), 8711.20 (unnamed, 1 line) and 8711.30 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Motorcycle, Bicycle, and Parts Manufacturing (336991). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
