8713.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8713.90.00, encompasses "Other" carriages for disabled persons, specifically those that are motorized or otherwise mechanically propelled, but do not fall under more specific subcategories. This code is designed to capture a range of powered mobility aids for individuals with disabilities that aren't explicitly defined elsewhere. The core defining characteristic is the presence of a motor or mechanical propulsion system, distinguishing them from manually operated counterparts.

The key differentiator from its sibling category, 8713.10.00 ("Not mechanically propelled"), lies in the propulsion method. While 8713.10.00 covers manual wheelchairs and similar devices, 8713.90.00.00 is reserved for those incorporating an electric motor, internal combustion engine, or other form of mechanical assistance to facilitate movement. This implies a higher degree of technological integration and operational ease for the user.

Within this category, further distinctions are made based on the number of wheels. Subcategory 8713.90.00.30 specifically covers three-wheeled, mechanically propelled carriages, providing a distinct classification for this particular configuration. The remaining, broader subcategory, 8713.90.00.60 ("Other"), then captures all other mechanically propelled carriages for disabled persons that are not three-wheeled, thereby ensuring comprehensive coverage for the diverse range of powered mobility devices within this chapter.
