Trolley wheel

Trolley wheel harmonized system code

Product Overview Trolley wheels classified under HS Code 871690 are specialized components designed for use in various wheeled transport equipment, particularly trolleys employed in logistics and material handling sectors. These wheels typically consist of durable materials such as rubber, polyurethane, or thermoplastic elastomers mounted on metal or composite hubs, with diameters ranging from 100 mm to 300 mm to accommodate varying load capacities. Manufactured through precision molding and machining processes, trolley wheels under this classification exhibit high load-bearing capacity, abrasion resistance, and low rolling resistance to ensure operational efficiency and longevity. The HS Code 871690 encompasses subcategories including fixed, swivel, and braking trolley wheels, differentiated by their mounting mechanisms and functional features. Commercially, these wheels are integral to food service carts, retail shelving trolleys, and industrial processing transport units, enabling smooth mobility and reliable load support. Their design emphasizes compatibility with standard trolley frames and compliance with safety standards, positioning them as essential components in supply chain operations that demand durability and consistent performance. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 871690 falls under Chapter 87, which covers vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock, with Heading 8716 specifically addressing trailers and semi-trailers, including parts thereof. The subheading 871690 denotes parts and accessories of trailers and semi-trailers, encompassing trolley wheels as integral replacement components. This classification is justified by the product’s functional role as a detachable, standardized wheel designed for integration into trolley assemblies. Trade professionals typically package trolley wheels in bulk cartons or palletized units, employing corrosion-resistant materials and protective wrapping to mitigate damage during transit. Preservation methods focus on maintaining the integrity of wheel bearings and tread surfaces, often involving lubrication and moisture control measures. Shipping requirements adhere to international standards, including compliance with the WTO Agreement on Customs Valuation and the Harmonized System nomenclature. Quality standards for trolley wheels under this code mandate adherence to ISO and ANSI specifications for dimensions, load ratings, and material composition, ensuring uniformity and facilitating seamless customs clearance across global markets.

Trolley 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.
