With internal combustion piston engine of a cylinder capacity exceeding 800 cc
Analysis
HTS 8711.50.00 covers with internal combustion piston engine of a cylinder capacity exceeding 800 cc under heading 8711 (motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 2.4%. Compared with 8711.90.01 (motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles fitted with an auxiliary…), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.4 percentage points.
For statistics it divides in two: 8711.50.00.30 for exceeding 800 cc but not exceeding 970 cc and 8711.50.00.60 for exceeding 970 cc. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.4%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The general duty rate is 2.4% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 87 (53rd percentile of 212 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $240 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
