Overview
This HTS classification, 8714.94.30.40, specifically designates coaster brakes designed for single-speed bicycles. Coaster brakes are a type of braking mechanism integrated into the rear hub of a bicycle, activated by pedaling backward. This category encompasses the entire coaster brake unit as well as its essential components that enable this specific braking function.
While this category falls under the broader heading of brakes for bicycles, it is distinct from other sibling categories which may cover different types of braking systems or parts thereof for bicycles. For instance, other subheadings under 8714.94.30 might classify drum brakes, caliper brakes, or cantilever brakes, each with their own distinct operating mechanisms and physical characteristics. The defining feature here is the backward pedaling activation inherent to coaster brakes, and their specific application on single-speed bicycles.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is precise, covering only coaster brakes intended for single-speed bicycles. Classification under this code should therefore confirm both the specific type of brake (coaster) and the intended use (single-speed bicycle).
