Motorcycle parts harmonized system code

Product Overview Motorcycle parts classified under HTS 8714.10 are defined as parts and accessories manufactured or specifically designed to be fitted to motorcycles (including mopeds) as vehicles of headings 8711–8713. Key characteristics include design-specific geometries and mounting interfaces, material specifications (steel alloys, aluminum castings, stamped steel, engineered polymers, elastomers, copper/aluminum conductors), and processing levels (CNC machining, heat treatment, surface treatments such as galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing, and VCI rust prevention). Typical measurable attributes: dimensional tolerances (commonly ±0.1–0.5 mm for machined components), mass ranges (fasteners <10 g; control cables 0.05–0.5 kg; frame assemblies 8–25 kg), and performance criteria (bearing load ratings per ISO, brake rotor runout <0.05 mm). Product classifications under 8714.10 encompass chassis and frame parts, suspension forks and shock absorbers, transmission and clutch components, braking assemblies, wheels and axles, electrical wiring harnesses and lighting assemblies, and fuel-system components (excluding whole engines and items specifically classifiable in other chapters). Commercial applications include OEM assembly lines, aftermarket distribution and retail, workshop repair/replacement, and remanufacturing supply chains. HTS Code Classification & Trade Specifications Complete 6‑digit HTS structure: Chapter 87 — Vehicles (and parts); Heading 8714 — Parts and accessories of vehicles of headings 8711–8713; Subheading 8714.10 — Parts and accessories of motorcycles (including mopeds) (often cited as HTS 8714.10 or 871410 at the 6‑digit level). Classification rationale: placement is driven by intended end‑use, technical adaptation to motorcycles (mounting points, electrical ratings, mechanical tolerances) and absence of a more specific heading (e.g., complete engines — heading 8407; pneumatic tyres — chapter 40; batteries — heading 8507). Trade considerations: packaging on 4‑way pallets or in wooden crates with carton counts typically 10–200 pcs, net/gross weight declarations, use of VCI paper, desiccants or light oil for corrosion control, sealed polybags for small parts, and clear marking of country of origin and part numbers. Hazardous‑component handling must follow IMDG/IATA/49 CFR (e.g., lithium batteries, fuel residues). Quality and compliance references: ISO 9001, IATF 16949, SAE/ASTM test methods and OEM specifications; shipping documentation should list HTS 8714.10, detailed part descriptions, unit value, net/gross weights and any applicable UN numbers or licenses.

Motorcycle parts Chapter Note

1.- This Chapter does not cover railway or tramway rolling-stock designed solely for running on rails. 2.- For the purposes of this Chapter, “tractors” means vehicles constructed essentially for hauling or pushing another vehicle, appliance or load, whether or not they contain subsidiary provision for the transport, in connection with the main use of the tractor, of tools, seeds, fertilisers or other goods. Machines and working tools designed for fitting to tractors of heading 87.01 as interchangeable equipment remain classified in their respective headings even if presented with the tractor, and whether or not mounted on it. 3.- Motor chassis fitted with cabs fall in headings 87.02 to 87.04, and not in heading 87.06. 4.- Heading 87.12 includes all children's bicycles. Other children's cycles fall in heading 95.03.
