8714.94.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8714.94.90.00, covers "Other" brake components for vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713 that are not specifically enumerated in sibling categories. This broad classification encompasses a wide range of brake parts and accessories, excluding those explicitly detailed under drum brakes, caliper and cantilever bicycle brakes, and coaster brakes. The scope is limited to parts and accessories of vehicles that do not fall under headings 8701 to 8706, focusing primarily on components for motorcycles, bicycles, and their associated systems.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8714.94.30, is crucial. The sibling category specifically enumerates certain types of bicycle brakes, such as drum brakes, caliper and cantilever brakes, and coaster brakes, along with their associated parts like cables and fittings. Therefore, 8714.94.90.00 is intended for all other brake-related items that do not fit this specific definition. Examples might include disc brake rotors, brake calipers not of the caliper/cantilever bicycle type, brake levers, brake fluid reservoirs, brake pads for disc systems, or brake shoes for non-specified brake types.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification hinges on identifying brake components that do not precisely align with the more specifically defined categories. When classifying items under this heading, attention should be paid to the specific type of brake system the part belongs to and whether it is a component of a motorcycle, bicycle, or a similar type of vehicle as defined by the preceding headings in Chapter 87.
