Last updated: April 2026 dataCylinder displacement is the primary classification driver here: the US schedule subdivides this heading into three narrow bands — 250–290 cc (8711300030), 290–490 cc (8711300060), and 490–500 cc (8711300090) — making precise engine specification documentation essential at entry. Thailand is the dominant supplier, reflecting major assembly operations by Japanese OEMs in Southeast Asia, with Japan and Austria also significant sources. Bikes in this displacement class are widely used in commuter, adventure-touring, and entry-level sport segments, and importers should confirm EPA emissions compliance and DOT safety standards before shipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP classifies by the actual cylinder displacement stated in the manufacturer's technical documentation. The three active lines cover 250–290 cc, 290–490 cc, and 490–500 cc respectively, so an accurate engine specification sheet or certificate of conformity is required to support the correct 10-digit code at entry.
Motorcycles intended for US road use must meet EPA emissions standards (administered by the Environmental Protection Agency) and DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Importers typically need to provide a conformance declaration or bond through a registered importer if the vehicle was not originally manufactured to US specifications.
