Import Tips
• Provide engineering drawings showing internal two-planet gear system to confirm classification away from single-speed hubs
• Ensure declaration specifies 'not for children's bicycles' per chapter notes directing those to 9503 if applicable
• Watch for customs holds on hubs with drum brake options; separate brake components classify differently
