Bicycle hubs
Bicycle hubs, excluding coaster braking hubs and hub brakes
HSN 8714 93 10 (Bicycle hubs) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other parts and accessories under Chapter 87 — particularly those for motorised two-wheelers classified under headings 8711 to 8713 — may carry distinct compliance requirements depending on the vehicle type they are designed to fit.
The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: coaster braking hubs, hub brakes, and free-wheel sprocket-wheels are classified separately within heading 8714, and parts designed for motorised vehicles rather than bicycles may fall under a different subheading with its own compliance regime. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the product specification — intended vehicle type, hub function, and braking mechanism — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
