25% Tariff in effect for imported Auto Parts

US Tariff on Auto Parts Goes Into Effect

The new duties target key vehicle components but include exemptions for USMCA-compliant parts to preserve North American supply chains

A 25 percent tariff on imported automobile parts took effect on May 3, marking a significant step in President Donald Trump’s effort to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign supply chains and boost domestic manufacturing jobs.

The new duties—authorized under a March 26 proclamation—apply to key components used in passenger vehicles and light trucks, including engines, transmissions, and electrical systems.

The tariffs affect imports from all countries, although parts that meet U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) requirements are exempt, in a bid to preserve the tightly interwoven North American auto supply chain.

According to updated guidance issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on Thursday, USMCA-compliant parts will not face the new duties—so long as they are not part of knock-down kits, or bulk component packages intended for assembly.

Democrats are the hold-up. They have one thing, and only one thing on their mind--Impeach the President. They know without impeachment they will go down to defeat in 2020.

Nancy Pelosi says this trade deal is the easiest one they have ever done but they're stalling. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and top Democratic negotiators have said they want to resolve concerns about the deal harming American workers or the environment before they ratify it. That's their excuse.

Through USMCA, Trump is “keeping his promise to replace the job-killing NAFTA, end the outsourcing of American jobs, and invest in the American worker,” said a White House spokesman.
