U.S. imports of motorcycles and mopeds with engines over 50cc but not over 250cc (HS 871120) totaled $38.2M in August 2026, imported from 21 countries.
Importers of Motorcycles and Mopeds with Engines Over 50cc but Not Over 250cc paid $5.6M in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 14.68% of the $38.2M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Motorcycles and Mopeds with Engines Over 50cc but Not Over 250cc imports of $38.2M in August 2026 ran 36% above the year-to-date monthly average of $28.1M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataMid-entry-level motorcycles in the 50cc–250cc displacement band are further subdivided in the US schedule by engine size: over 50cc to 90cc (8711200030), over 90cc to 190cc (8711200060), and over 190cc to 250cc (8711200090), reflecting the commercial importance of displacement tiers for duty and statistical purposes. Japan leads US imports in this class, with China and Indonesia also major sources — Indonesia's prominence reflects the large-scale production of 125cc–150cc commuter motorcycles by Japanese-affiliated manufacturers there. As with all imported motorcycles, NHTSA FMVSS and EPA emissions compliance are mandatory conditions of entry.

The three sub-bands — 50–90cc (8711200030), 90–190cc (8711200060), and 190–250cc (8711200090) — serve both statistical and duty-differentiation purposes. Different displacement ranges correspond to distinct commercial market segments (mopeds, light commuters, and entry-level sport/adventure bikes), and the granularity allows CBP and USTR to track trade flows and apply trade measures at a more precise product level.
The importer must file a DOT HS-7 declaration confirming FMVSS compliance and an EPA 3520-1 form confirming the engine meets applicable emissions standards. The motorcycle must have been manufactured to US-market specifications, or the importer must arrange for a Registered Importer (RI) to bring a non-conforming vehicle into compliance. Classification would be under 8711200060 for a 125cc engine. Consulting a licensed customs broker familiar with vehicle imports is advisable given the multi-agency compliance requirements.
