Overview
This HTS category, 8714.93.24.00, specifically covers hubs for bicycles and other vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713 that feature a two-speed gear system with an internal gear-changing mechanism. These hubs are designed to allow the rider to select between two distinct gear ratios, with the mechanism for changing gears housed within the hub itself. This contrasts with external derailleur systems where the gears are shifted by moving a chain across a set of sprockets or chainrings.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 8714.93.28.00, which covers "Other" hubs not meeting the specific criteria of this subcategory. Therefore, if a hub is not a two-speed internal gear hub, it would likely fall under the "Other" classification at this level, assuming it meets the broader criteria for hubs under 8714.93.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the presence of a two-speed internal gear changing mechanism within the hub, differentiating it from hubs with different speed capabilities or external gear systems. The focus is on the specific functional characteristic of the hub's internal gearing.
