8714.94.30.50 - Designed for three-speed bicycles

This HTS classification, 8714.94.30.50, specifically covers coaster brakes designed for bicycles with three-speed gearing systems. Coaster brakes are integrated into the rear hub of a bicycle, allowing for braking by pedaling backward. The "designed for three-speed bicycles" designation is a key differentiator, implying a specific internal mechanism or design characteristic that aligns with the operational requirements of a three-speed hub.

The primary sibling category at this level, 8714.94.30.60 "Other," encompasses all coaster brakes that do not meet the specific criteria of being designed for three-speed bicycles. This would include coaster brakes intended for single-speed bicycles or those with different internal hub gearing configurations. Therefore, the distinction lies in the intended application and the specific design features necessitated by the bicycle's gearing system.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is precise, encompassing only coaster brakes that are specifically manufactured or adapted for use with three-speed bicycle hubs. Classification hinges on verifying the design intent and technical specifications of the coaster brake in question to ensure it aligns with the three-speed requirement, differentiating it from more general-purpose coaster brakes.
