Last updated: July 2026 dataPower wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and other mechanically propelled carriages for persons with disabilities are covered here, with China the leading supplier and Canada and Taiwan also prominent. The US schedule distinguishes three-wheeled units (8713900030) from other mechanically propelled carriages (8713900060), a split relevant to mobility scooters, which typically use a three-wheel or four-wheel platform. Importers should verify that power-assist or hybrid manual/electric units are correctly assigned to this heading rather than 8713.10, as the presence of any motorized drive is the controlling factor.

A wheelchair fitted with a powered drive attachment that propels the carriage is generally treated as mechanically propelled and classified under 8713.90 rather than 8713.10. The key question is whether the motor contributes to propulsion; accessories that merely assist braking or steering without driving the wheels may not trigger reclassification, but a binding ruling from CBP is advisable for novel configurations.
Three-wheeled mobility scooters — the most common consumer format — are specifically enumerated at 8713900030, while four-wheeled power chairs and other configurations fall under 8713900060. Correct assignment matters because the lines may carry different duty rates or be subject to different trade-remedy scope rulings. Importers should confirm wheel count in product specifications before filing entry.
