For motor cycles

Spark-ignition piston engines up to 50 cc, for motorcycles

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8407 31 10 (spark-ignition reciprocating piston engines of cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cc, for motorcycles) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Engines of larger cylinder capacity, or complete motorcycles, fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 84 and Chapter 87 respectively, where compliance obligations may differ.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: engines declared as sub-50 cc parts but found on examination to exceed that displacement, or to be imported as part of a complete or semi-knocked-down vehicle, may be re-classified under a tariff line that does carry compliance — triggering detention pending the relevant clearance and retrospective duty recovery. Verify cylinder displacement and the commercial purpose (standalone replacement part versus vehicle assembly) against the customs tariff before shipment.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8407 31 10 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the engine has a cylinder capacity exceeding 50 cc?
Engines above 50 cc are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 84 and may attract distinct compliance or duty structures; re-classification by customs to the correct higher-capacity line triggers retrospective compliance.
