The visible part may not be easy to calculate for the final sale. If you are drop shipping or just reselling a product from say India it may be easier, but when you buy a bicycle for your kid at Christmas, I assume if it was assembled in the U.S., the steel might be from the U.S. in the frame, the aluminum for the wheels might be from Canada. The rubber for the tires and handlebar grips might be imported from Thailand/China or what not. The brake pads might come from the U.S., U.K, Japan, Germany, Spain... Or who knows. It is a hodgepodge of different tariffs being thrown together and adding a little here and a little there.
