HS v2017 Code: 8712
About bicycles and other cycles; including delivery tricycles, not motorised
hs code 8712 covers a diverse range of non-motorized cycles, including bicycles, tricycles, and other similar vehicles. This industry plays a vital role in the transportation and logistics sectors, providing eco-friendly and cost-effective mobility solutions for both personal and commercial use. As a key component of the broader cycling industry, hs code 8712 products contribute to sustainable urban development, recreational activities, and last-mile delivery services across the global economy.
Production process
The production of bicycles and other cycles under hs code 8712 typically involves a multi-step manufacturing process. This includes the fabrication of frames, wheels, and other components, often using a combination of metal, plastic, and composite materials. Advanced assembly techniques, such as welding, riveting, and adhesive bonding, are employed to ensure the structural integrity and durability of the final products. Quality control measures, including testing and inspection, are also integral to the manufacturing process to meet safety and performance standards.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of hs code 8712 products include raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and various plastics for the frames, wheels, and other components. Specialized machinery, such as metal-working tools, assembly lines, and painting/finishing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is necessary to design, fabricate, and assemble the final products.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of hs code 8712 are bicycles, tricycles, and other non-motorized cycles, which are used for a variety of purposes, including personal transportation, recreational activities, and commercial applications like last-mile delivery. These products are often consumed by 8711 Motorcycles and cycles; with or without side-cars, and side-cars and 9401 (Seats (other than those of heading 9402), whether or not convertible into beds, and parts thereof) industries, which may incorporate them into their own product offerings or use them as complementary transportation solutions.
