Aluminum Alloy Bicycle Crank Forging
A forged aluminum alloy component shaped as a bicycle crank arm, produced by forging a billet into the final form under high pressure. It falls under HTS 7616.99.51.70 as an other article of aluminum classified specifically as a forging, not further manufactured into a complete bicycle part. This raw forging requires machining before assembly into bikes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If machined or finished beyond rough forging
Machined forgings are excluded from the forgings subheading and classified as other finished aluminum articles.
If imported as complete bicycle crankset assembly
Finished bicycle parts including cranks fall under Chapter 87 headings for bicycle components, not raw forgings.
If in form of aluminum alloy bar stock before forging
Unwrought or semi-finished aluminum bars precede the forging process and are classified in Chapter 76 headings for bars and rods.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify alloy composition meets aluminum alloy definition (Al > other elements, total others >1%) via mill certificates to confirm Chapter 76 classification
• Provide forging process documentation; distinguish from castings which fall under 7616.99.41 to avoid misclassification
• Check for anti-dumping duties on aluminum extrusions or forgings from specific countries like China
