Bicycle wheel Hs Code

Bicycle wheel harmonized system code

Product Overview Bicycle wheels classified under HS Code 871499 refer to components specifically designed for integration with bicycles, encompassing rims, hubs, spokes, and tires assembled as a functional wheel unit. These wheels typically feature durable materials such as aluminum alloys or carbon composites, with diameters ranging from 20 to 29 inches to accommodate various bicycle types. Precision engineering ensures balanced weight distribution, spoke tension uniformity, and corrosion resistance through anodized or powder-coated finishes. The product classification under 871499 includes subcategories such as front wheels, rear wheels with or without sprockets, and specialized wheels for racing or mountain bicycles. Commercially, these wheels serve critical roles in retail bicycle assembly, aftermarket replacements, and maintenance in transportation and recreational sectors. Their design emphasizes enhanced performance, longevity, and compatibility with standard bicycle frames, positioning them competitively in global markets focused on quality and reliability. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 871499 falls within Chapter 87 (Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock), Heading 8714 (Parts and accessories of bicycles), and Subheading 871499 (Other parts and accessories of bicycles). This classification is justified by the product’s function as a distinct bicycle component not elsewhere specified. Packaging standards for international shipment typically involve reinforced cartons or wooden crates with protective padding to prevent deformation and corrosion during transit. Preservation methods include application of anti-rust coatings and desiccants to maintain component integrity. Shipping requirements adhere to International Maritime Organization (IMO) and International Air Transport Association (IATA) guidelines, ensuring compliance with customs and trade regulations. Quality standards conform to ISO 4210 for safety and performance, and adherence to WTO agreements on customs valuation and classification is maintained to facilitate seamless cross-border trade and accurate tariff application.

Bicycle wheel Chapter Note

1.- This Chapter does not cover railway or tramway rolling-stock designed solely for running on rails. 2.- For the purposes of this Chapter, “tractors” means vehicles constructed essentially for hauling or pushing another vehicle, appliance or load, whether or not they contain subsidiary provision for the transport, in connection with the main use of the tractor, of tools, seeds, fertilisers or other goods. Machines and working tools designed for fitting to tractors of heading 87.01 as interchangeable equipment remain classified in their respective headings even if presented with the tractor, and whether or not mounted on it. 3.- Motor chassis fitted with cabs fall in headings 87.02 to 87.04, and not in heading 87.06. 4.- Heading 87.12 includes all children's bicycles. Other children's cycles fall in heading 95.03.
