Classification of bicycle hubs CN 871493

CN code 871493 covers bicycle hubs (without freewheels) and freewheels intended for bicycles and other cycles under heading 8712. The hub is the central wheel element mounted on the axle, housing bearings enabling free wheel rotation. The freewheel is a mechanism enabling coasting (free-wheeling). This code classifies front and rear hubs, hubs with internal brakes, hub motors for e-bikes, freewheels, and freehub cassettes. Import follows standard customs procedures, and duty rates should be verified in the TARIC or ISZTAR system.

Technical and import requirements

Hubs and freewheels imported into the EU must comply with EN ISO 4210 strength and reliability requirements. E-bike hubs containing electric motors (hub motors) are subject to additional electrical safety requirements. Chinese hub imports may be subject to extended anti-dumping duties on bicycle parts. Hubs with built-in internally geared transmissions (e.g., Shimano Nexus, Rohloff) are also classified under this code as bicycle hubs.

Bicycle hub market

The bicycle hub market is dominated by Japanese (Shimano) and Taiwanese manufacturers, with growing Chinese market share. Premium hub segment – DT Swiss, Chris King, Hope – serves the aftermarket and high-end bicycles. Hub motors for e-bikes represent a growing segment competing with mid-drive systems. Wide-range freehub cassettes (e.g., 12-speed SRAM and Shimano) drive innovation in this segment.

Frequently asked questions

Are hub motors for e-bikes classified under CN 871493?
Hubs with built-in electric motors (hub motors) for electric bicycles may be classified under CN code 871493 as bicycle hubs, since their essential character is a wheel hub with integrated drive. However, classification may depend on whether the dominant function is the hub or the motor. Verification in the TARIC system or obtaining a Binding Tariff Information ruling is recommended.
Are freehub cassettes classified under CN 871493?
Yes, freehub cassettes (sprocket sets with freewheel mechanism) are classified under CN code 871493, as this code covers freewheels for bicycles. Cassettes from all manufacturers – Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo – and all standards (7-12 speed) fall within this code.
Are internally geared hubs classified under CN 871493?
Yes, hubs with built-in planetary gear systems (e.g., Shimano Nexus, Alfine, Rohloff Speedhub, Enviolo) are classified under CN code 871493 as bicycle hubs. The gear-changing mechanism is an element integrated with the hub and does not change its classification. These hub imports follow the same customs procedures as standard hubs.
