U.S. imports of bicycle hubs and free-wheel sprocket-wheels (HS 871493) totaled $2.1M in August 2026, imported from 25 countries.
Importers of Bicycle Hubs and Free-Wheel Sprocket-Wheels paid $268K in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 12.83% of the $2.1M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Bicycle Hubs and Free-Wheel Sprocket-Wheels imports of $2.1M in August 2026 ran 23% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.7M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataDrivetrain precision defines this heading: hubs and free-wheel sprocket-wheels for bicycles and other cycles are classified by speed configuration and construction, with the US schedule breaking out aluminum hollow-axle hubs (8714930500), three-speed hubs (8714931500), variable-speed hubs other than two- and three-speed (8714932800), and multiple free-wheel sprocket clusters (8714937030) as distinct tariff lines. Taiwan and Japan together dominate supply — Japan's Shimano and SRAM's Taiwanese manufacturing base account for a substantial share of the global performance hub market. Mexico also appears among leading suppliers, benefiting from USMCA treatment for qualifying goods. Importers classifying internal-gear hubs should pay close attention to speed count, as misidentification between the three-speed and variable-speed lines is a recurring audit issue.

A two-speed hub does not qualify for the three-speed hub line (8714931500) nor the variable-speed line covering speeds other than two and three (8714932800). Two-speed hubs would fall under the residual hub line 8714933500 (hubs, NESOI). Confirming the exact speed count with the manufacturer's specification sheet before entry is advisable.
Multiple free-wheel sprocket clusters — cassettes with several cogs — are covered by 8714937030, while single or other free-wheel sprocket-wheels fall under 8714937060. The distinction matters because the two lines may carry different duty rates; importers should confirm cog count and whether the cluster is designed as a single integrated unit.
