Stop Additional 50% Tariffs on Bikes and E-Bikes: Here’s How
The U.S. Commerce Department published 95 new requests for inclusion of derivative products in the Section 232 aluminum and steel tariffs. Two requests were made to add bicycles, frames and e-bikes to those tariffs.

Our only opportunity to oppose these requested tariffs will end on October 21st when the two-week comment period closes. PeopleForBikes will be submitting comments in opposition to these two requests and encourage industry allies to do the same.

PeopleForBikes has created a template letter to prepare and submit a comment letter to the Commerce Department. We have also created talking points to state your opposition to the requests for inclusion. There are TWO requests for inclusion of bicycles, frames and electric bicycles, one from Guardian Bikes and the other from the Aluminum Extruders Council. You should submit a comment on EACH one with the same general information about your business, followed by arguments specific to that request. We suggest you create and then upload a letter through the links below, rather than type your comment into the website.
