The merchandise under consideration consists of auxiliary motorcycle footpeg kits imported from Norway. Each kit consists of two footpegs with stainless steel mounting hardware, and is designed for installation on motorcycles. Each footpeg is CNC-machined from solid aluminum alloy EN AW-6082 T6. According to the information provided, a complete kit weighs approximately 1,700 grams, of which approximately 1,550 grams consists of aluminum alloy and the remaining approximately 150 grams consists of stainless steel. The auxiliary footpegs are model-specific and are installed in addition to the motorcycle’s original equipment footpegs, which remain in place. The subject footpegs mount directly to the motorcycle frame and provide the rider with an additional foot position during operation. The footpegs are designed solely for use with motorcycles of heading 8711. The applicable subheading for the auxiliary motorcycle footpeg kits will be 8714.10.0050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Parts and accessories of vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713: Of motorcycles (including mopeds): Other.” The general rate of duty will be Free. The duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided at https://hts.usitc.gov/.

This includes, but is not limited to, tariffs and other duties as provided for in Subchapter III to Chapter 99, HTSUS. Thus, for example, in addition to the classification stated above, the merchandise covered by this ruling may also need to be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which an additional tariff applies or one of the Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to such tariffs.
