Anatomy of 871200

What this code covers
What falls under 871200
- Bicycles and other cycles (including delivery tricycles), not motorised
What's specifically excluded
These look similar but belong under a different code:
Commonly confused with
871160 — Electric bicycle (e-bike)
Adding an auxiliary motor moves a bicycle out of 871200 into 871160 (electrically powered cycles). E-bikes are also a frequent anti-dumping/CVD target, so the code change matters for more than just the base rate.
950300 — Kids' tricycle (toy)
A child's tricycle designed as a toy is Chapter 95, while a genuine cycle for transport is 8712.
Classification & cost note
The bicycle vs e-bike line is the one that costs importers money. Conventional bicycles (871200) carry ordinary MFN duty, but e-bikes (871160) are subject to anti-dumping and countervailing duties in the EU and elsewhere against certain origins (notably China) that can add tens of percentage points. Confirm whether a model has an auxiliary motor before quoting any landed cost.
Typical products: Adult road and mountain bikes · City and commuter bicycles · Non-motorised cargo tricycles

Questions about 871200
Is an e-bike classified under 871200?
No. A cycle with an auxiliary electric motor is 871160, not 871200. The distinction matters because e-bikes face anti-dumping/countervailing duties in several markets.
Are bicycle parts the same code as bicycles?
No. Frames, wheels, and other components are classified under 8714 (e.g. 871499), separately from complete bicycles under 8712.
