Show full summary
  • U.S. manufacturers and workers: Would set a duty-free pathway intended to increase domestic assembly. The bill targets production of 2 million bicycles per year within 5 years and 5 million per year within 10 years, giving manufacturers clear production benchmarks.
  • Importers and retailers: Would allow parts that fit specified 8-digit tariff lines to enter under new heading 9903.87.11 when imported for assembly into complete bicycles. Importers must certify at entry and provide documentation after final assembly.
  • Customs and trade oversight: Would exclude these parts from additional duties tied to section 301 while they qualify and give U.S. Customs and Border Protection authority to issue rules and require information. The U.S. International Trade Commission must report in 5 years on the amendments' effects.

Duty-free imports for bicycle parts

If enacted, this bill would create a temporary duty-free tariff heading (9903.87.11) for specified bicycle parts. The duty-free treatment would begin on the date of enactment and last 10 years. Only parts in an explicit list of 8-digit tariff headings would qualify. Importers would have to certify at entry to U.S. Customs and Border Protection that parts are for assembly or manufacture into complete bicycles, tricycles, electric bikes, or bicycle trailers. They would also need to give documentation when final assembly is complete. Parts entered under this heading would be excluded from additional section 301 duties while claimed. CBP could make rules to administer the heading, and the U.S. International Trade Commission would report in 5 years on progress toward goals of 2,000,000 bicycles in 5 years and 5,000,000 in 10 years.
