U.S. imports of bicycle & cycle brakes, including coaster braking hubs (HS 871494) totaled $3.3M in April 2026, traded with 17 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBrake system type is the primary classification driver here: the US schedule distinguishes caliper brakes (8714943020), coaster brakes for single-speed bicycles (8714943040), brakes for three-speed bicycles (8714943050), and general bicycle brakes (8714943060), with a separate line for brake parts including drums (8714943080). Taiwan and Japan are the leading suppliers, reflecting the dominance of major component manufacturers in those markets; China is also a significant source. Hydraulic disc brake systems — increasingly standard on e-bikes and mountain bikes — are typically classified as caliper or general bicycle brakes depending on their actuation mechanism, and importers should verify the correct line with CBP when the mechanism is ambiguous.

Hydraulic disc brake assemblies designed for bicycles generally fall under 8714943060 (brakes, NESOI, for bicycles) or 8714943020 (caliper brakes, NESOI) depending on their mechanical configuration. Because CBP has not issued a universal ruling covering all hydraulic disc designs, importers handling new product configurations should consider requesting a binding ruling before the first shipment.
Brake levers and cables are generally considered parts of the brake system and may fall under 8714943080 (brake parts, NESOI) or, if they function as control accessories, potentially under heading 871499. The functional relationship to the brake assembly — and whether the part is sold as a brake component or a standalone accessory — guides the classification decision.
