Electric bicycles and motorcycles take line 8711.60 of the US tariff, for cycles with an electric motor for propulsion. Its general rate is Free. The China column shows List 2: +25%, which is the older list the line sits on, and the country duty applies on top. So $10,000 of e-bikes comes to $3,750 (37.5%) from China, $1,250 (12.5%) from Vietnam, and $1,000 (10%) from Taiwan in this calculator. Compare that with a non-electric bike, which pays ordinary duty at up to 11%. In the tariff, the motor changes the heading entirely. Extra batteries sold separately take lithium-ion lines with their own China duty, as the batteries page shows. Parts take heading 8714, so price them on their own lines.

The heading follows the motor
Without a motor, heading 8712. With a motor for propulsion, heading 8711. An auxiliary motor does not bring you back to 8712, because the heading names cycles fitted with one. Non-electric piston engines take other lines of 8711. Parts for all of them are in 8714.
