8712.00.15.10 - Having both wheels not exceeding 50 cm in diameter

This HTS classification, 8712.00.15.10, specifically covers bicycles where the diameter of both wheels is 50 centimeters or less. This category encompasses a range of smaller bicycles, often designed for young children or very compact personal transport. The defining characteristic for classification under this subheading is the strict limit on wheel diameter.

It is crucial to distinguish this subheading from its siblings, 8712.00.15.20 and 8712.00.15.50. Those categories cover bicycles with larger wheel diameters: 8712.00.15.20 applies to bicycles with wheels exceeding 50 cm but not exceeding 55 cm, while 8712.00.15.50 covers bicycles with wheels exceeding 55 cm but not exceeding 63.5 cm. Therefore, the 50 cm wheel diameter serves as the precise boundary for items classified under 8712.00.15.10.

As a leaf node, this classification has no further subcategories. Classification is determined solely by the wheel diameter criterion. Examples of goods that would fall under this subheading include children's bicycles with small wheels specifically designed for early riders, and potentially certain types of folding or micro-mobility bicycles where the wheel size is a primary design feature and does not exceed 50 cm in diameter.
