As if the Trump Administration's ever-changing tariffs weren't confusing enough, it has now expanded the 50% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to include 407 categories of items derived from these materials. According to Bloomberg, these include everything from baby booster seats to furniture components to motorcycles. Prices of imported motorcycles may be about to skyrocket as a result of no longer being safe from tariffs. Commenters on Reddit were quick to call this measure protection for Harley-Davidson's continuing troubles, but the truth is more complicated than that.
The details about how these tariffs will be implemented are confusing, but here's what we know. According to the notice from the Bureau of Industry and Security, it has added 407 product codes to the existing steel and aluminum tariff to include items "that will be considered as steel or aluminum derivative products." Four of these codes are related to motorcycles. Code 8711.30 is for motorcycles and mopeds between 250 cc and 500 cc displacement. Code 8711.50 is for motorcycles and mopeds between 800 cc and 970 cc. Code 8711.60 is for electric cycles below 250 watts of output. Finally, code 8714.10 covers motorcycle parts, which unfortunately affects all bikes.
