Overview
This HTS category specifically covers aluminum alloy hubs designed for bicycles, characterized by a hollow axle and a lever-operated quick release mechanism. These hubs are integral components of bicycle wheel assemblies, facilitating the attachment and removal of the wheel to the bicycle frame. The material composition (aluminum alloy) and the presence of a hollow axle and quick release are key distinguishing features.
While other hubs might exist within broader categories, this classification focuses on the specific combination of features indicative of modern bicycle hubs. It differentiates itself from categories that might cover hubs with different braking mechanisms (e.g., coaster braking hubs, hub brakes) or those not featuring the quick release system.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Classification under 8714.93.05.00 is definitive when the article meets all the outlined criteria: being an aluminum alloy hub, possessing a hollow axle, and incorporating a lever-operated quick release mechanism for bicycle applications.
