On March 26, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10908, âAdjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States,â (Automobile Proclamation) which finds that imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts continue to threaten to impair the national security of the United States and imposes specified tariffs to adjust imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts so that such imports will not threaten to impair national security pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (âSection 232â). Section 232 authorizes the President to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives that are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States so that such imports will not threaten to impair national security. The Automobile Proclamation imposed a 25 percent tariff on certain imports of automobiles, effective April 3, 2025, and certain imports of automobile parts, effective May 3, 2025.
The Automobile Proclamation also required the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to establish a process for including additional automobile parts articles within the scope of the tariffs imposed by the President in the Automobile Proclamation. In addition to inclusions made by the Secretary, the process is to provide for including additional automobile parts articles at the request of a domestic producer of an automobile or automobile parts article, or an industry association representing one or more such producers, where the request establishes that imports of additional automobile parts articles have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the national security or otherwise undermines the objectives set forth in any proclamation issued pursuant to the Secretaryâs February 17, 2019 report under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (Section 232) or any additional information submitted to the President by the Secretary pursuant to those proclamations. When the Secretary receives such a request from a domestic producer or industry association, the Secretary, after consultation with the United States International Trade Commission and United States Customs and Border Protection, is to issue a determination regarding whether to include the articles within 60 days of receiving the request. Any additional automobile parts articles that the Secretary has determined to be included within the scope of the tariffs described in the Automobile Proclamation are to be so included on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time the day after a notice in the Federal Register describing the Secretaryâs determination. The notice in the Federal Register is to be made as soon as practicable but no later than 14 days after the Secretaryâs determination.
The International Trade Administration (ITA), in this interim final rule (IFR), establishes the process for including additional automobile parts articles within the scope of the tariffs imposed by the President in the Automobile Proclamation.
If approval is not granted for use of these documents, this will hinder Commerceâs ability to fulfill the directives of the President in Proclamation 10908. This directive is driven by urgent national security concerns, as the President has determined imports of automobiles and automobile parts are a threat to U.S. national security. Timely implementation of this process is critical to addressing this threat.
In Proclamation 10908, the President required the Secretary to establish a process for including additional automobile parts within the scope of the tariffs. This is necessary to ensure that all automobile parts are subject to the scope of the Section 232 remedy if their importation threatens to impair the national security of the United States.
