- The rounded clamp mounts to a structural member of a stationary exercise bike; the post is sized to receive a standard bicycle stem.
- Once installed, it lets a rider fit aftermarket or standard bicycle handlebars to copy the reach and grip of an outdoor bike during indoor training.
- Geometry, attachment method, interface dimensions, adjustability and structural reinforcement may vary.
CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| adapter assembly | HTS 9506.91.0010 | articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics or athletics; parts and accessories thereof, exercise cycles |
Explanation
CBP agreed that subheading 9506.91.00, articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics or athletics and their parts and accessories, describes the adapter.
CBP found that the adapter contributes to the effectiveness of a stationary exercise bike by allowing the use of alternate handlebars, and that it is designed solely to be attached to one. On that basis CBP classified it as an accessory to exercise cycles and placed it on the statistical line for exercise cycles.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it an add-on designed solely to attach to a stationary exercise bike?
- Does it let a rider fit standard or aftermarket bicycle handlebars to the bike?
- Is it a clamp with a post sized to receive a standard bicycle stem?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
