National tariff lines under HS 871200
Match the physical product to the wording, not just the six-digit heading. A rate range exists when the national schedule divides the heading by use, construction, material or another feature.

Classification checks for bicycles and non-motorised cycles
HS 871200 covers bicycles and other non-motorised cycles, including delivery tricycles. Electric cycles and separately imported parts require different classification checks.
- Does the cycle have a motor?
- Is it imported complete or as parts?
- What type of cycle and wheel size do national lines distinguish?
Worked import-cost example
This illustration uses A$1,000.00 of goods, A$75.00 shipping and A$25.00 insurance. The illustration applies duty to customs value and adds international transport and insurance when estimating GST.
| Scenario | Rate | Duty | Import tax | Illustrative total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evidenced base rate | 5% | A$50.00 | A$115.00 | A$1,265.00 |
Tax limitation: Standard 10% GST is used. GST-free treatment and product-specific border charges require separate checks.
Change the shipment values or origin
The estimator can compare the base line with any imported preference or trade-measure evidence.
You will need the product, the country you are importing into, where the goods are from, the goods value, and any shipping or insurance costs you want included.
Most duty is a percentage of value. Some products use weight, quantity or volume; those parts are shown as not priced until the required unit can be calculated.
How this was worked out
Duty basis: loading duty data.
VAT/GST basis: loading VAT/GST data
Extra duties are included only where the available data matches this product and route.
Estimate only. Duty and VAT/GST are calculated where the available rate data supports it; unpriced fees, exemptions, quotas, or eligibility rules can still change the final customs bill.
