Product classification
HS code for Bicycle cranksets: 8714.96
Cycles, parts, pedals and crank-gear, and parts thereof.
Classification of bicycle cranksets under HS 8714.96
Bicycle cranksets are classified under HS code 8714.96, which specifically covers parts and accessories of cycles of heading 87.12, focusing on pedals and crank-gear, and parts thereof. This classification is determined by General Interpretative Rule (GIR) 1, which dictates that classification is determined according to the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Since Chapter 87 covers vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and heading 87.14 is dedicated to parts and accessories of such vehicles, the crankset—as a fundamental component of a bicycle's drivetrain—falls squarely within this category. Subheading 8714.96 is the most specific provision for the crank-gear assembly, which includes the crank arms and the chainrings that transfer the rider's pedaling force to the chain. The classification remains consistent regardless of the material used, whether the crankset is manufactured from aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, or steel, provided it is designed for use with bicycles.

Codes often confused with 8714.96
Common mistake. A frequent point of confusion involves HS code 8483.40, which covers gears and gearing. While a crankset contains gears (chainrings), Note 2 to Section XVII (which includes Chapter 87) generally excludes parts of general use, but specifically directs that parts of vehicles should remain in Chapter 87 if they are not more specifically provided for elsewhere. Since 8714.96 is a specific provision for cycle crank-gear, it takes precedence over the general machinery heading of 8483. Additionally, some importers mistakenly use 8714.99, which is a residual category for "other" bicycle parts; however, because 8714.96 explicitly mentions crank-gear, the residual code is incorrect.
Top exporters and importers of HS 871496 (the code used for bicycle cranksets), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 871496 (the code used for bicycle cranksets) in UN Comtrade data was Taiwan, with about 21% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 18% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
