Overview
This HTS category, 8714.99.60.00, specifically covers certain bicycle control mechanisms and components. It encompasses trigger and twist grip controls designed for three-speed bicycle hubs, along with any parts for these controls. Additionally, this classification includes bicycle handlebar stems that are entirely made of aluminum alloy, even if they are fitted with hardware made of different materials, provided each stem has a value exceeding $2.15. Bicycle handlebar stem rotor assemblies are also included under this heading.
This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings by focusing on a very specific set of bicycle control and handlebar components. For instance, it does not cover the "click twist grips and click stick levers" classified under 8714.99.10.00, which are distinct types of gear shifting mechanisms. Furthermore, it is separate from the "derailleurs and parts thereof" found in 8714.99.50.00, as this category focuses on controls for hub gears, not those that move the chain between sprockets. The remaining items in the "Other" category (8714.99.80.00) would encompass bicycle parts and accessories not specifically provided for in the other subcategories at this level.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, accurate classification under 8714.99.60.00 relies on a precise assessment of the product's function, material composition, and, for handlebar stems, its individual value to ensure it meets all stipulated criteria.
