Classification of bicycle saddles under HS 8714.95
Bicycle saddles are classified under HS code 871495 due to the explicit and unambiguous description provided within the Harmonized System.

Within this, 8714.95 specifically identifies "Saddles" as parts of cycles. This precise wording directly encompasses all types of bicycle saddles, which are essential components for rider support and comfort. The clarity of this classification ensures that bicycle saddles are accurately categorized without ambiguity, reflecting their specific function as a part of a bicycle.

Codes often confused with 8714.95
Common mistake. Bicycle saddles are occasionally misclassified under general seating categories or residual codes for bicycle parts. For example, they should not be classified under HS 9401, which covers "Seats (other than those of heading 9402), whether or not convertible into beds, and parts thereof." While a bicycle saddle is a type of seat, it is a specialized part of a cycle and is specifically provided for in heading 8714. The specific enumeration in 871495 takes precedence over the more general heading 9401. Similarly, saddles should not be classified under HS 871499, which is a residual category for "Parts thereof, n.e.c." (not elsewhere specified), as saddles are explicitly specified in 871495.

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).
