Overview
This HTS category, 8714.93.15.00, specifically classifies bicycle hubs that are designed with a three-speed internal gear-changing mechanism. These hubs are integral components of bicycles, facilitating the selection of three distinct gear ratios. They are distinct from other bicycle hubs due to the integrated nature of their speed-changing functionality within the hub itself.
It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, 8714.93.35.00, which covers "Other" hubs and sprocket-wheels, including those with variable speed mechanisms that are not specifically three-speed. This distinction lies solely in the number of gears offered internally. Furthermore, this category should not be confused with hubs that incorporate coaster braking or hub brakes, as those are classified under separate provisions.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 8714.93.15.00. Classification under this code is definitive once a hub is identified as having a three-speed internal gear system and is not a coaster braking hub or hub brake. The primary criterion for classification here is the specific internal gearing configuration.
