Duty Free - United States

Bikeroom ships your product directly from Italy. Since this is an import, bicycles are subject to customs duties upon entry into the United States. Specifically, the duty rate is 5.5% for road bikes and 11% for mountain bikes (MTB). However, sales tax is never required.To avoid surprises or complications, Bikeroom simplifies the process by offering a system that allows you to pay all duties directly at checkout. This way, you already know the final price with no additional costs later on. Additionally, bicycles and frames listed in the “duty-free” section qualify for duty exemptions, allowing you to save on import costs.

Exemption

If the product you are viewing has the “duty free” tag, it means that, if imported into your country, you will be eligible for a duty exemption based on the product. This benefit is linked to specific characteristics of certain products available on Bikeroom, which meet the requirements set by your country for such exemptions. However, it’s important to note that the exemption does not apply to all products, as it depends on specific technical criteria. Therefore, two products with similar characteristics may have different duty statuses. Each product is clearly identified on our site, so during checkout, you will know in advance whether you will need to pay import duties or not. Additionally, for orders with a total value of under $800, no duties or taxes are required by default, as they fall under the exemption provided by U.S. regulations.

Example:

We have added a pedal to your cart, which, due to its specific production characteristics, falls into the categories and price range that qualify for a duty exemption. Therefore, the “duties” charge is waived and shows as 0 USD.

Note: this does not apply if you make an offer. In that case, any duties and VAT will be paid directly to the courier after delivery. You can simulate the cost of these by adding the bike to your cart without placing a bid.

Delivered Duty Paid and import declaration.

Furthermore, by paying directly at checkout and ensuring that the amount paid is correct, Bikeroom provides you with a 360-degree service. We ship under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), taking care of the entire process, from shipment management to customs procedures, including any additional requests and the payment of duties. If you receive any requests from your local customs, simply forward them to us, and we will handle everything directly. Additionally, all import management costs are covered by Bikeroom, whereas they would be your responsibility for a non-DDP shipment. This way guarantees a smooth, secure, and worry-free shopping experience.

After completing the duty payment on our website, you can request a copy of the import declaration, which includes details of the duty and VAT percentages applied by your country and charged to us. This document will be available approximately 30 days after you receive the product, allowing us the necessary time to obtain it from customs and the courier. If there is a price difference in your favor, we will automatically refund the excess amount paid, ensuring full transparency on the costs incurred.

Note: This does not apply if you make an offer. In that case, any duties and VAT will be paid directly to the courier after delivery, and the import process is entirely your responsibility. You can simulate the cost of these by adding the bike to your cart without placing a bid.
