Because no upper displacement ceiling applies, this heading captures the full range of high-capacity machines, including those exceeding 1,000 cc or 1,200 cc. Importers should note that large motorcycles from certain origins may be subject to antidumping or Section 301 measures, and NHTSA/EPA compliance documentation is mandatory for US market entry.

Large motorcycles have historically been the subject of trade-remedy investigations in the US market. Importers should check the current status of any antidumping or countervailing duty orders, as well as Section 301 applicability by country of origin, before finalizing sourcing decisions. A licensed customs broker can provide an up-to-date assessment.
Personally owned motorcycles imported for personal use must still meet EPA and NHTSA standards unless they qualify for a specific exemption (e.g., the 'show or display' exemption for rare vehicles, or the 25-year exemption for antique motorcycles). Standard commercial importation requires a DOT HS-7 declaration and EPA conformity documentation at the port of entry.
