President Donald Trump has announced that a 25% tariff will be imposed on all vehicles and vehicle parts not made in the United States beginning on April 3. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has a list of the final-assembly country of all automobiles sold in the U.S., as well as the country of origin for their engines and transmissions. The Trump administration is still finalizing details on how it will determine which automobiles will be subject to the import tax. It has been stated that any vehicle not assembled in the U.S. will be subject to the duties, and even vehicles assembled in the U.S. will be taxed if they contain foreign parts, but only on the percentage of the vehicle that comprises those items. However, there are still issues that need to be worked out, especially when it comes to determining how vehicles protected by the United States-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement will be taxed. A database of major makes and models sold in the U.S. by their final-assembly country is available for reference. The complex global supply chain that automakers have utilized for years adds to the difficulty of determining which vehicles will be affected by the tariffs.
