According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the latest data show that as of November 2002, U.S. bicycle imports have increased by 29.4%, or by 12.2% if calculated in dollar value. During this period, the average import value of American bicycles fell by 13%, from US$92 to US$80 per bicycle. This number. This includes all imported bicycles, most of which are sold to Volkswagen supermarkets such as Wal-Mart. These figures do not include electric bicycles, because electric bicycles share import codes with electric motorcycles and other motorcycles, so it is difficult to separate them. The average value of electric bicycles is much higher than the average value of other categories, and if it is included, it will increase the overall average price on average. As of November, the US bicycle industry imported 15.9 million bicycles, compared with 12.3 million in the same period last year. This means that the industry has surpassed the 12.9 million bicycles imported in the same period in 2019 (in fact, the import volume in 2019 has already exceeded in October). Comparing the numbers to 2019 is a bit deceptive, but because it was a moderate year. In 2018, the total annual imports of bicycles in the United States were 17.2 million; in 2017, the total was 15.2 million. Nevertheless, based on the current monthly import volume of close to 2 million vehicles, the total import volume in 2020 is likely to exceed 17 million vehicles. In terms of value, bicycle imports from 2020 to November totaled US$1.3 billion, compared to US$1.1 billion in the same period in 2019. The decrease in average bicycle value may be mainly due to the demand for low-priced models in 2020. It is worth noting that the import value does not include freight or customs duties. The cost of ocean and air freight will increase sharply in 2020, and importers say this is one of several factors leading to the increase in wholesale and retail prices.
