Bicycles & Other Non-Motorized Cycles

Yes, antidumping duty orders have been imposed on bicycles from certain countries in the past. The scope, suspension, or revocation of such orders changes over time. Importers should check the current status of any applicable orders through the US International Trade Commission and Commerce Department ADCVD portal, and consult a licensed customs broker before committing to a sourcing origin.

The defining criterion is the complete absence of any motor or engine. A delivery tricycle propelled solely by human pedaling — regardless of its cargo capacity or commercial design — qualifies as non-motorized under this heading. Adding even a small auxiliary electric or combustion motor moves the vehicle into a motorized cycle heading, with different duty and regulatory treatment.
