Codes by variant
| Variant | HTS code | General duty | Est. from China |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adult | 8712.00.35.00 | 11% | 23.5% |
- 8712.00.35.00: Bicycles having both wheels exceeding 63.5 cm in diameter / Other
What decides the code
A non-motorized bicycle with both wheels over 63.5 cm in diameter is classified under heading 8712, specifically subheading 8712.00.35.00.
- Wheel size decides the subheading. Both wheels exceeding 63.5 cm in diameter fall under 8712.00.35.00.
- The bicycle must be non-motorized. A motorized cycle moves to a different heading.
- Heading 8712 covers bicycles and other cycles, including delivery tricycles, so a pedal bicycle fits this heading.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a bicycle under 8712.00.15 is wrong when both wheels exceed 63.5 cm in diameter, because that line covers smaller wheels.
- Putting a motorized cycle in heading 8712 is wrong because heading 8712 covers only non-motorized cycles.
