Tariffs and the RX3

NoVa Rider · 06-07-2019, 01:45 PM

I have not noticed any comments on the impact that proposed US tariffs could have on Chinese-made bikes imported into the US. But if, for example, the RX3 was hit with a 25% tariff, a big part of their sales appeal would of course be eroded. Could CSC still be competitive selling them and their other Zongshen sourced bikes? I have been checking CSC's blog for comments on this but so far, nothing.

I may be missing some discussion but the first article I have seen on the specific issue of motorcycle tariffs is in the current Motorcyclist Online website. It's not very helpful in understanding the issue, but it does have a link to the USTR document listing items that are proposed for "up to 25% additional tariff. Motorcycles are on the list, harmonized number 8711.20.00.

I don't mean to get into politics on any level. And I have no idea if in fact these tariffs will be initiated. Just something to watch.
