Also not lawyer, but looked into this and here's what I'm seeing. The 30% rate I'm assuming you're seeing for 8714.91.20 applies to Russia, Cuba, North Korea, and Belarus. For bike frames from Japan, I'd assume they fall under the Japan special rate since the US and Japan have an existing trade agreement (pre-global tariff) so the rate for bike frames is 0%, 3.9% worst case according to that table. Here's where I'm seeing this: https://hts.usitc.gov/search?query=8714912000 (view on a laptop, the mobile view is bad).
My assumption is there may be a 10% tariff applied with the whole global tariff thing, but I'm not sure if that applies to individuals vs business imports or any specifics. Give Fedex a call: 800-249-2953 (think they're open like 8am-8pm ET) and have them walk you through the form on the phone, they're helpful. Then ask to stay on the line after you submit it via docusign to confirm they got it, and see if they can pass along to the customs agent right then (getting. this from a reddit thread lol). Hope this helps!
