On Wednesday, March 26, 2025, the White House announced new automotive sector tariffs via press conference and executive order. Here are the facts as we know them: 🔺 A 25% tariff will apply to imported passenger vehicles (sedans, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, cargo vans) and light trucks, as well as critical auto parts (engines, transmissions, powertrain components, and key electrical parts). 🔺Vehicle tariffs take effect April 3, 2025 at 12:01 a.m. EDT. The parts tariff date is pending but will be no later than May 3, 2025. 🔺The 25% tariff will not apply to parts qualifying under USMCA until a process is established to apply it only to the non-U.S. content of those parts. 🔺The scope is dependent on the list of automotive parts and vehicles that will be published in Annex I of the Federal Register in the coming days. Based on the connection to Proclamation 9888, the scope is expected to include: passenger vehicles (sedans, sport utility vehicles, crossover utility vehicles, minivans and cargo vans) and light trucks and certain automobile parts (engines and engine parts, transmissions and powertrain parts, and electrical components).
