Bicycles and other cycles; including delivery tricycles, not motorised
HS v2022 Code: 8712
About bicycles and other cycles; including delivery tricycles, not motorised
HS code 8712 covers a wide range of non-motorized cycles, including bicycles, tricycles, and other similar vehicles. This industry plays a crucial role in the transportation and logistics sectors, providing eco-friendly and efficient mobility solutions for both personal and commercial use. Bicycles and cycles under this code are widely used for commuting, recreation, and last-mile delivery, contributing to sustainable urban development and reducing carbon emissions.
Production process
The production of bicycles and other cycles under HS code 8712 typically involves a combination of metalworking, assembly, and quality control processes. Key steps include the fabrication of frames, wheels, and other components, followed by the assembly of the complete vehicle. Manufacturers may utilize advanced techniques such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining to ensure precision and efficiency in the manufacturing process.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of bicycles and cycles under HS code 8712 include metals (such as steel, aluminum, and titanium) for the frame and components, rubber or synthetic materials for tires, and various mechanical parts like gears, brakes, and suspension systems. Manufacturers may also rely on specialized tools, machinery, and skilled labor to assemble the final products.
Production outputs
Bicycles and other cycles produced under HS code 8712 are primarily consumed by 9503 Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys and 9504 Video game consoles and machines, articles for funfair, table or parlour games, as well as by individual consumers for personal transportation and recreational activities. These non-motorized vehicles are also used in the 8711 (Motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor; side-cars) industry, where they may be modified or incorporated into larger transportation solutions.
