8714.93

Hubs, other than coaster braking hubs and hub brakes, and free-wheel sprocket-wheels

Analysis

Subheading 8714.93 covers hubs, other than coaster braking hubs and hub brakes, and free-wheel sprocket-wheels, within heading 8714. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 6 US tariff lines below it are national.

The spread of 10 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 10%, applies to 8714.93.35 (other: other).

4 of its 6 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (67%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 10%. The median line pays duty-free.

The US splits it as follows: 8714.93.05 for aluminum alloy hubs with a hollow axle and lever-operated quick… (duty-free), 8714.93.15 for other: three speed (duty-free), 8714.93.24 for variable speed (except three speed) with internal gear changing… (duty-free), 8714.93.28 for variable speed (except three speed) with internal gear changing… (3%), 8714.93.35 for other: other (10%) and 8714.93.70 for free-wheel sprocket-wheels (duty-free).
