.@KerryMP asked why bike frames and parts imported from America have been caught up in a Boeing/Airbus trade war, (and are being charged 25% extra on importation to the UK), and also anti-dumping duties which will lead to cheap Chinese bikes in the UK.
PQ from @KerryMP
What assessment has the Government made of potential effect on British bicycle manufacturers and retailers of additional customs duties on imports from the US of products used as bicycle components.

@carltonreid It’s real Carlton. 25% tariff on bicycle frames and forks and rims and selected components from USA. How EU decided that bicycle frames were an appropriate levy target because of dispute between aircraft manufacturers? The irony.
Heads-Up everyone! This affects us. 25% on USA bicycle frames and components. How on earth has this flown in under the radar? @BikeBizOnline@marksuttonbike @KerryMP https://t.co/3nSKbEB5Rz
So the industry that reduces pollution suffers damaging tariffs because the most polluting industry go to war? How could this happen? https://t.co/3nSKbEB5Rz

We were sick of lockdown – so cycled from Land’s End to John o’Groats - our clients do remarkable things on their bikes. We need to make sure we are around to support them! https://t.co/u3Z61S6NNa
We have just signed this. The cycle to work schemes are great for employees and the people that run the scheme but not so good for the bike shops. We welcome a review. Hopefully amended administration would allow for fairer distribution of funds and more people cycling.
