CN Motorcycle Helmets Now Excluded From Tariffs F ollowing multiple requests by the MIC Govern- ment Relations Office and several MIC members to exclude motorcycles, parts and accessories from China List 4 tariffs, the United States Trade Repre- sentative has determined that motorcycle helmets are now excluded from tariffs that were imposed in 2019. "Tariffs are additional taxes paid by American consumers and busi- nesses, not by China," said Erik Pritchard, president and CEO of the Motorcycle Industry Council. "May is Motorcycle Safety Aware- ness month, so we are pleased that the USTR has decided to exclude additional taxes on motorcycle hel- mets. Safety equipment must remain affordable and readily available to all riders." The MIC's government relations team worked with MIC members, tes- tifying together before the USTR and the United States International Trade Commission. Letters were also sent to the agencies and to policy makers. CN Safety equipment must remain affordable and readily available to all riders, says the MIC. The Doffo Winery is offering for a limited time its new "66" blend Kurt Caselli tribute wine, which can be ordered online.
