At the smallest end of the vehicle engine spectrum, heading 840731 covers spark-ignition reciprocating piston engines with cylinder displacement not exceeding 50 cc, used in mopeds, small scooters, and light utility equipment classified in Chapter 87. The US schedule provides lines for engines at or below 50 cc with output under 746 W (8407310040) and those below 50 cc exceeding 746 W (8407310080). Japan and Germany are leading suppliers, though China is also a notable source โ and engines of Chinese origin may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, a key cost consideration for importers of small-displacement powersports components.

Classification depends on the vehicle type. Heading 840731 covers engines for vehicles of Chapter 87, which includes go-karts (typically heading 8703 or 8704). However, if the engine is designed for a non-road application such as a lawn mower or generator, it would fall under heading 840790 instead. The intended end-use and the vehicle's Chapter 87 classification are the controlling factors.
The two active 10-digit lines under 840731 split on whether rated output is below 746 W (8407310040) or at/above 746 W (8407310080), in addition to the 50 cc displacement ceiling. Importers should obtain manufacturer power-output specifications in watts or horsepower (1 hp โ 746 W) to ensure correct line selection, as the distinction affects duty liability.
