Aluminum alloy hubs with a hollow axle and lever-operated quick release mechanism
Analysis
HTS 8714.93.05 covers aluminum alloy hubs with a hollow axle and lever-operated quick release mechanism under heading 8714 (parts and accessories of vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 10%. Compared with 8714.93.35 (other: other), which pays 10%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 10 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 47% of the 212 tariff lines in chapter 87, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 336991 (Motorcycle, Bicycle, and Parts Manufacturing), an industry of 429 US establishments employing 8,445 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
