About motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles; fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without side-cars; side-cars

HS code 8711 covers a diverse range of motorcycles, mopeds, and cycles fitted with auxiliary motors. This industry plays a crucial role in the global transportation sector, providing affordable and efficient mobility solutions for both personal and commercial use. Motorcycles and mopeds are particularly important in developing economies, where they serve as a cost-effective alternative to traditional automobiles. The industry's impact extends beyond transportation, as it also supports related sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and tourism.

Production process

The production of motorcycles and mopeds involves a complex assembly process. Key steps include the fabrication of the frame, installation of the engine and transmission, assembly of the suspension and braking systems, and the integration of electrical components. Manufacturers often utilize advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, to ensure precision and efficiency in the production process.

Production inputs

The motorcycle and moped industry relies on a variety of raw materials and components, including steel, aluminum, plastics, and rubber for the frame and bodywork; internal combustion engines or electric motors; transmissions; and electrical systems such as batteries, wiring, and lighting. Manufacturers also require specialized machinery and tools for the assembly process, as well as skilled labor to operate these systems.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 8711 are motorcycles, mopeds, and cycles fitted with auxiliary motors, which are then sold to consumers, businesses, and government entities. These products may be further classified under other HS codes, such as 8703 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, 8704 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, and 8711 (Motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles; fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without side-cars; side-cars).
