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
