Overview
This HTS category, 8714.99.50.00, specifically covers derailleurs and their individual parts. Derailleurs are mechanical devices used on bicycles and other multi-geared vehicles to shift the chain between different sprockets or cogs, thereby changing the gear ratio. This encompasses both the front and rear derailleur mechanisms, as well as any components that are exclusively designed and intended for use as part of a derailleur system.
It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike 8714.99.10.00, which pertains to click twist grips and click stick levers (components that act as the user interface for shifting), or 8714.99.60.00, which covers other specific bicycle handlebar controls and stems, this code is solely for the derailing mechanism itself and its constituent parts. The category 8714.99.80.00 is a residual "other" category for parts and accessories not otherwise specified, making 8714.99.50.00 the designated classification for derailleurs.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 8714.99.50.00. Therefore, classification within this code is determined by the direct identification of the item as a derailleur or a component thereof, distinct from other cycling accessories and controls found at the same level of detail in the tariff schedule.
