GENT, Belgium – Trade association LEVA-EU is inviting e-bike manufacturers and assemblers across Europe to participate in a newly launched survey. The survey is designed to gather insights on the impact of European anti-dumping duties on bicycle components imported from China, aiming to provide a clearer understanding of how these tariffs affect the industry’s competitiveness, business operations, and market growth.

Introduced by the EU in 1993 and extended in 1997 anti-dumping duties on Chinese bicycle imports cover essential bicycle components, impacting both conventional and e-bike assemblers. Now, as the European Commission reviews these measures, LEVA-EU is calling on industry stakeholders to share their perspectives on the challenges these duties impose, particularly on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within the European e-bike sector.

Limitations for SMEs in the EU?

The European e-bike market has been growing rapidly, driven by increasing interest in eco-friendly transportation and urban mobility solutions. LEVA-EU has consistently highlighted that these duties impose additional costs and sourcing limitations for e-bike manufacturers and assemblers, particularly affecting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The organisation advocates for a reassessment of these duties to support sustainable growth in the sector.

This survey aims to collect feedback on how these duties affect manufacturers and assemblers across various areas, including:

  • Competitiveness in the EU Market: With increased competition, maintaining cost-effective and efficient production is critical for e-bike companies of all sizes.
  • Production Costs: Higher tariffs can increase component costs, affecting both profitability and pricing structures.
  • Supply Chain Flexibility: Restrictions on affordable components from China may challenge assemblers, particularly those with fewer supplier options.

Survey details

The survey takes approximately 5–10 minutes to complete and covers topics including company size, sourcing practices, challenges related to anti-dumping duties, and perspectives on potential policy adjustments. The survey also includes questions on exemptions or end-use authorizations companies may use to reduce duty-related costs.

Survey responses will help LEVA-EU gather data to better understand the needs of European manufacturers and assemblers. The findings will inform LEVA-EU’s ongoing policy discussions with the European Commission in relation to the review of these duties. The survey can be accessed here: LEVA-EU Dumping Survey.
