Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary customs inspection risks for importing bicycles under HTS 871200?
The highest risk is classification verification to ensure the bicycles are non-motorized, as e-bikes with motors fall under different HS codes like 8711. Customs may also inspect for undervaluation, especially with higher-value models, and verify country of origin markings for anti-dumping or duty purposes.
What are the primary additional costs, beyond the product price, when importing bicycles under HTS 8712.00?
Major additional costs include a 11% Most Favored Nation (MFN) import duty for shipments into the United States, as well as the 11% 'Section 301' tariff imposed on bicycles of Chinese origin. You must also account for Merchandise Processing Fees (MPF), which is 0.3464% of the entered value (minimum $29.22, maximum $634.62 per shipment).
Compliance Notes for Importing Bicycles
Imports of bicycles under 8712.00 are subject to a 11% additional duty under Section 301 for goods of Chinese origin, requiring correct country-of-origin declaration. All bicycles must comply with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regulations (16 CFR Part 1512), covering requirements for brakes, reflectors, and labeling. Additionally, children's bicycles may have separate safety standards and labeling rules. Imports often require a Certificate of Compliance from the manufacturer to clear customs.
