Title: Import Duty
Post by: Worksoptony on June 26, 2018, 02:57:40 AM

I read today that the EU have identified American Motorcycles as one of the items to have it's import duty increased as a response to the developing trade war with the US. That's not going to help to push the sales, the bikes are already quite expensive.

If I recall correctly, someone here mentioned a day or two ago that the EU was not going to place a tariff on U.S. made electric motorcycles, just the IC ones.  H-D has been specifically mentioned in the news today - which is causing their stock to drop right now.  So far I haven't heard a thing about Indian.  ???

That makes sense. The idea was to stick it Ryan, not Pelosi.
