Heading 8712

Bicycles and other cycles (including delivery tricycles), not motorized

8 declarable lines

Heading 8712 covers non-motorized bicycles and other cycles, including delivery tricycles. The line you declare depends mainly on wheel diameter, then on weight, tire cross-section size, and value for larger bicycles. Cycles that are not bicycles fall in a single residual line.

How to choose the right subheading

Measure the diameter of both wheels: the 63.5 cm threshold separates the small-wheel bicycle lines from the large-wheel lines.
If both wheels exceed 63.5 cm, check the complete weight without accessories against 16.3 kg.
Check the tire cross-sectional diameter: designs for tires over 4.13 cm take the general bicycle lines rather than the light-bicycle lines.
For the mixed-wheel line, compare the front and rear wheel diameters and check whether the value is $200 or more each.
Decide whether the item is a bicycle or another cycle such as a tricycle; other cycles take the residual line.
