HS Code 8714.96 – Cycles; parts, pedals and crank-gear, and parts thereof
HS code 8714.96 is the 6-digit subheading for cycles, parts, pedals and crank-gear, and parts thereof. It is used for bicycle clipless pedals, platform pedals, cranksets, chainrings and bottom brackets.
What HS 8714.96 covers
This HS code covers bicycle pedals and crank-gear, along with their parts, which form the vital interface between the rider and the bicycle's drivetrain. These components are responsible for transferring the rider's power to the wheels, making their design, material, and manufacturing precision critical for efficiency and performance. International trade in these items is robust, with specialized manufacturers, primarily from Taiwan, China, and Japan, exporting a wide range of cranksets, chainrings, and pedals to bicycle assemblers and aftermarket distributors worldwide. Importers include major bicycle brands, component distributors, and retailers. Key trade considerations include the evolution of clipless pedal systems, advancements in crankset stiffness and weight reduction, and the integration of power meters, all catering to the diverse needs of recreational, competitive, and utility cyclists.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
