Bikes, under general category 8712 are dutied at 11%, parts, under
general category 8714, are dutied at various rates according to what
they are. You can verify the exact rates at:

By the way, duty is calculated on the declared value or whatever customs deems is fair (whichever is higher!) plus the value of the shipping! Try and negotiate an all-inclusive price as the add-ons can be very expensive as already mentioned. I had to pay more for customs clearance and handling fees in the US than I did to pick up and pack in a container and ship all the way from Italy to the port of Philadelphia. Ouch! You can also only insure the shipment for the declared value.
