HS code for Bicycle pedals: 8714.96

Cycles, parts, pedals and crank-gear, and parts thereof.

Classification of bicycle pedals under HS 8714.96

Bicycle pedals are classified under HS code 871496 due to the explicit and precise description within the Harmonized System. Chapter 87 covers vehicles and their parts, with heading 8714 specifically addressing parts and accessories of cycles. Subheading 8714.9 details various other parts. Within this, 8714.96 directly specifies "Pedals and crank-gear, and parts thereof." This unambiguous classification ensures that bicycle pedals, which are essential components for transmitting power from the rider to the drivetrain, are accurately categorized. The inclusion of "crank-gear" further clarifies the scope of this subheading to cover the entire pedal-crank assembly.

Codes often confused with 8714.96

Common mistake. Bicycle pedals are sometimes incorrectly classified under the general residual category for bicycle parts. For instance, they should not be classified under HS 871499, which covers "Parts thereof, n.e.c." (not elsewhere specified). Since pedals and crank-gear are explicitly mentioned in 871496, this specific code takes precedence over the general residual code. Another potential misclassification could be with other drivetrain components not explicitly covered, but the clear language of 871496 prevents this for pedals and crank-gear. It is important to adhere to the specific enumeration provided by the HS code rather than resorting to general categories when a precise match exists.

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).
