U.S. imports of bicycle & cycle frames and forks (HS 871491) totaled $9.3M in August 2026, imported from 39 countries.
Importers of Bicycle & Cycle Frames and Forks paid $1.4M in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 14.65% of the $9.3M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataFrames and forks are the structural core of the bicycle drivetrain ecosystem, and imports from Taiwan and China face Section 301 tariff exposure that has reshaped sourcing decisions across the industry. The US schedule distinguishes frames by value — above $600 per unit (8714912000) versus at or below $600 (8714913000) — as well as steel tubing sets cut to exact length (8714915000) and parts for motorcycles and other cycles (8714910000, 8714919000). Taiwan leads supply, with China and Vietnam also significant sources; Italy supplies premium-segment frames. Material and construction method — carbon fiber layup versus aluminum hydroforming versus steel TIG welding — drive both classification and valuation decisions at entry.

CBP applies the transaction value of the frame itself — not the complete bicycle — at the time of importation. Importers should ensure invoices clearly itemize frame value separately from other components, as misclassification between 8714912000 and 8714913000 can result in duty underpayment or overpayment.
Yes. Bicycle frames and forks originating in China are generally subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty rate. Importers should verify the applicable Section 301 list and any exclusion orders in effect at the time of entry, as these have changed over time.
