Overview
This HTS category, 8713.10.00.00, specifically covers carriages designed for disabled persons that are not mechanically propelled. This encompasses a wide range of devices such as manual wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility aids that rely on human power for movement. The key distinguishing factor is the absence of any motor, engine, or other form of mechanical propulsion system.
This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 8713.90.00, which covers "Other" carriages for disabled persons. While 8713.10.00.00 is reserved for non-mechanically propelled models, the sibling category would encompass motorized wheelchairs, electric scooters, and other powered mobility devices intended for individuals with disabilities. Therefore, the presence or absence of mechanical propulsion is the critical determinant for distinguishing between these two categories at the 8713 level.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8713.10.00.00 hinges solely on whether the carriage for disabled persons is propelled by human effort or requires a mechanical power source. The purpose of the item as a mobility aid for disabled individuals is a prerequisite for inclusion under heading 8713.
