This section amends the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States to create a new heading (9903.87.11) for duty-free entry of certain bicycle parts. The definition of 'parts of bicycles' includes accessories and components imported for assembly or manufacturing into complete tricycles, bicycles (with or without motors), and bicycle trailers. To claim duty-free entry, importers must certify to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that the parts will be used in bicycle assembly and provide documentation upon completion. Parts entered under this heading are excluded from additional duties under section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The U.S. International Trade Commission must submit a report within 5 years of enactment evaluating the impact of these amendments and assessing progress towards assembling 2,000,000 and 5,000,000 bicycles annually in the United States. The Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection can prescribe rules for administering this Act and require necessary information from importers.
