Import Duty & Landed Cost Calculator for Bicycles

What a container of bikes really costs once duty lands on it. Anti-dumping is calculated separately from the tariff, because for Chinese bicycles it is usually the bigger number — on EU imports it is 3.5 times the tariff.

Why anti-dumping is a separate line

An anti-dumping duty is a trade-remedy measure against a specific origin, not a tariff rate that applies to the product. For bicycles it has been in force in the EU since 1993, was extended for a further five years in October 2025, and applies to imports from China and to shipments routed through Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines. In the US, the equivalent layer is Section 301 — a 25% tariff plus a 12.5% forced-labour tier added in July 2026.

That is why an EU import of a Chinese complete bike carries 62.5% and a US import carries 43–48.5% — roughly three to four times the headline tariff rate.

The rate depends on who built your frame. The EU all-other-companies rate is 48.5%; named producers hold individual rates from 0% to 19.2%. Whether your shipment pays 48.5% or 0% is a question about the manufacturer, not about your invoice. Ask for the producer’s TARIC additional code and verify it before you price a container.

What buyers get wrong

1. Budgeting only the tariff
On EU bicycle imports the tariff is 14% and the anti-dumping duty is 48.5%. Budgeting 14% understates duty by a factor of 4.5.
2. Duty charged on goods only
Duty applies to goods plus freight, and VAT is then charged on goods plus freight plus duty. Each layer compounds.
3. Forgetting VAT is recoverable — and duty is not
EU and UK VAT on import is usually reclaimable against VAT on sales. Anti-dumping duty is a permanent cost.
