Show full summary
- Manufacturers and assemblers would be able to import parts duty-free when those parts are used to build complete bicycles. Importers must certify use at entry and provide proof after final assembly.
- Importers and retailers would get parts excluded from additional section 301 tariffs and other duties tied to parts' classification. The duty-free claim applies only to parts listed under specific 8-digit tariff headings.
- The duty suspension would apply for a 10-year period and Customs and Border Protection could issue rules to administer it. The U.S. International Trade Commission must report within 5 years on effects and on progress toward producing 2,000,000 bikes annually in 5 years and 5,000,000 annually in 10 years.

Duty-free bike parts for U.S. assemblers
If enacted, this would let U.S. bike assemblers import listed parts duty-free under a new customs code (HTS 9903.87.11). Parts must be used to build complete bicycles, tricycles, e-bikes, or bike trailers. They must match the specific tariff codes in the bill. Importers would need to certify this use at entry and give CBP documents after assembly if asked. CBP could set more rules and ask for records. Parts entered under this code would not face extra section 301 or similar classification-based duties. It would start on enactment and run for 10 years.
