8712.00.15.20 - Having both wheels exceeding 50 cm but not exceeding 55 cm in diameter

This HTS category, 8712.00.15.20, specifically classifies bicycles where both wheels have a diameter greater than 50 cm but do not exceed 55 cm. This measurement is crucial for distinguishing these bicycles from others within the broader category of "Bicycles having both wheels not exceeding 63.5 cm in diameter." The scope of this classification focuses on the physical dimensions of the wheels as the primary differentiating factor.

To understand its place within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, consider the sibling categories. If a bicycle's wheels do not exceed 50 cm in diameter, it falls under 8712.00.15.10. Conversely, bicycles with wheels exceeding 55 cm but not exceeding 63.5 cm are classified under 8712.00.15.50. Therefore, 8712.00.15.20 serves as a distinct intermediate classification based on precise wheel diameter ranges for bicycles.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Classification under 8712.00.15.20 is final based on the wheel diameter criteria. This means that any bicycle meeting the description of having both wheels exceeding 50 cm but not exceeding 55 cm in diameter will be classified here, without further subdivision based on materials, features, or intended use at this level.
