The US schedule breaks the heading into three sub-bands — 500–700 cc (8711403000), 700–790 cc (8711406030), and 790–800 cc (8711406060) — so a difference of even a few cubic centimeters can shift a shipment to a different tariff line.

The granular sub-bands reflect the HTS schedule's effort to align with commercially significant engine families.
