8714.93.28.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8714.93.28.00, specifically covers hubs for bicycles and other vehicles covered by headings 8711 to 8713, with a particular emphasis on those that are *not* coaster braking hubs, hub brakes, or free-wheel sprocket-wheels. Within the broader category of "Hubs," this subdivision focuses on hubs designed for variable speed internal gear systems, excluding those with only two speeds or three-speed internal gear mechanisms.

The defining characteristic of goods classified under 8714.93.28.00 is their integration with internal gear changing mechanisms that offer more than two speeds but are not specifically three-speed systems. This differentiates them from the sibling category 8714.93.24.00, which is reserved for two-speed hubs. The "Other" designation within this node indicates that these hubs are distinct from the specific types of hubs excluded at the higher levels (coaster braking hubs, hub brakes, and free-wheel sprocket-wheels).

Since this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code is on the precise functionality of the internal gear system. Importers and exporters should ensure that the hubs in question are not coaster braking hubs, hub brakes, free-wheel sprocket-wheels, two-speed hubs, or three-speed internal gear hubs to correctly utilize this classification. The primary criterion is the presence of a variable speed internal gear system with a speed count other than two or three.
