8714.94 - Brakes, including coaster braking hubs and hub brakes, and parts thereof:

This HTS category, 8714.94, specifically encompasses various types of brakes designed for vehicles classified under headings 8711 to 8713, along with their constituent parts. This includes not only the braking mechanisms themselves but also essential components that facilitate their operation. The description highlights the inclusion of both coaster braking hubs and hub brakes, indicating a broad scope for mechanical braking systems integrated into the wheel hub.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, it is important to note that 8714.94 focuses exclusively on braking systems. For instance, while 8714.91 covers frames and forks, and 8714.92 pertains to wheel rims and spokes, and 8714.93 deals with hubs and free-wheel sprocket-wheels, none of these directly address the braking function. Similarly, 8714.95.00.00 covers saddles, and 8714.96 covers pedals and crank-gear, highlighting that 8714.94's scope is limited to devices that retard motion.

The subcategories within 8714.94 further refine the classification of these braking systems. 8714.94.30 specifically addresses drum brakes, caliper and cantilever bicycle brakes, and coaster brakes, including their associated parts like cables and inner wires fitted with fittings. This detailed breakdown allows for precise classification of common bicycle braking systems. The remaining items not fitting this specific description, such as other less common brake types or components, would fall under the residual category of 8714.94.90.00, "Other."
