Anatomy of 871410
You will declare against a longer local code that begins 871410: ten digits in the United States and the United Kingdom, eight in the European Union, and the first six the same everywhere. Which trailing digits apply is what the 5 rates below differ on.

What that costs: 871410 into Canada
An illustrative consignment of 871410 invoiced at CAD 2,000.00, priced in CAD because a threshold is set in the destination's currency and nothing here is converted.
| Goods value on the invoice | CAD 2,000.00 |
| International freight | CAD 120.00 |
| Cargo insurance | CAD 30.00 |
| Value the duty is charged on, FOB basis | CAD 2,000.00 |
| Duty at 0% | CAD 0.00 |
| Canada tax at 5%, charged on the value plus the duty | CAD 100.00 |
| Total, before commercial charges | CAD 2,250.00 |
And if the consignment were small
Canada relieves customs duties and taxes on consignments at or under CAD 20. The 871410 shipment above is over that, so its duty is charged in full. The same code invoiced at exactly CAD 20 with no freight would be charged CAD 0.00 of duty and CAD 0.00 of tax, a total of CAD 20.00. The rate on the 871410 row has not changed; only the charge is relieved.
Selling rather than buying? CAD 2,250.00 is what your buyer in Canada pays to take delivery of this consignment, yours to pay if you quote DDP and theirs if you quote DAP: Exporting to Canada sets out who collects it and what your invoice has to say.
An illustration, not a quotation: broker fees, handling and any trade remedy on the origin sit outside it. Price 871410 on your own numbers in the duty calculator.

Markets with no figure recorded
Australia: Australia splits 8714.10 into 2 tariff lines and they do not carry the same rate: the schedule returned 0 to 5%. A single percentage cannot represent that honestly, so no Australia figure is recorded and the calculator falls back to its disclosed category average.
Re-check first: Parts of motorcycles are free into the United States. Parts of bicycles sit at 8714.91 and beyond and are not covered by this figure, and a part that is a complete article in its own right is classified as that article instead.
What falls under 871410
- Parts and accessories of motorcycles, including mopeds
- Motorcycle frames, forks, brakes, exhausts, fairings, seats and control assemblies
What's specifically excluded
These look similar but belong under a different code:
Commonly confused with
871499: Bicycle parts
Heading 8714 covers parts for both, split by which vehicle they belong to, and a part usable on either is classified by principal use. Brake levers, saddles and lighting sold across both markets are the routine argument, and packaging and part numbering are the practical evidence.
850760: Traction and starter batteries
A battery is named by heading 8507, so it is never a motorcycle part. This holds for the small starter battery and for the traction pack in an electric machine alike, and it is the most frequent misdeclaration on two wheeler spares.
Classification & cost note
Parts classification in Section XVII follows a sequence importers frequently skip. A part is classified in 8714 only if it is suitable for use solely or principally with the vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713 AND is not excluded by the section notes, which remove a long list of things that look like vehicle parts and are not. Batteries, lamps, tyres, bearings, seals, fasteners and electrical apparatus are each named elsewhere and go to their own headings regardless of what they are fitted to. That is why an aftermarket parts consignment described uniformly as motorcycle parts almost always needs several lines. Where a part carries a manufacturer's brand, the royalty question can also arise, since licence fees paid for the right to sell branded parts may have to be added to the customs value.
Typical products: Motorcycle frames and swingarms · Front forks and suspension units · Exhaust systems and silencers · Fairings, mudguards and body panels · Brake discs, calipers and levers · Seats, handlebars and control assemblies
What the notes to section XVII say
Chapter 87 sits in section XVII, vehicles, aircraft, vessels and associated transport equipment, where a section note governs every chapter in the section and applies before the heading notes below; the 5 reaching chapter 87 name no heading this site holds a code under, and they are quoted whole on the chapter 87 page, read from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/sections/17 on 2026-09-08.
What the nomenclature says about heading 8714
871410 is a subheading of 8714, parts and accessories of vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713 , and this site holds one other code under the same heading, which every rule below governs equally.
No numbered note to chapter 87 takes heading 8714 as its subject, which is what the published notes say rather than a gap on this page: the heading is defined by its own wording above and by the note to the chapter, quoted in full on the chapter 87 page.
Read from the notes to chapter 87 published in the UK Trade Tariff by HM Revenue and Customs, at https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/chapters/87, with the heading title from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/headings/8714, on 2026-09-07, with the whole layer and the reason a heading note is a chapter note set out on the chapter 87 page. These notes are part of the international text of the Harmonized System, so the rule is the same whichever destination a shipment is going to, and it decides classification and never a rate.
Questions about 871410
Are motorcycle batteries classified as motorcycle parts?
No. Heading 8507 names accumulators, so a starter battery or a traction pack is classified there rather than as a part of the machine it powers. This is the most common error in two wheeler spares.
How is a part usable on both a bicycle and a motorcycle classified?
By principal use. Where a lever, saddle or lamp is sold across both markets, packaging and part numbering are the practical evidence of which vehicle it is principally for.
Why does a spares shipment need several lines?
Because the section notes exclude a long list of articles named elsewhere, including batteries, lamps, tyres, bearings, seals and fasteners. Only what is left is classified as a vehicle part.
