On March 26, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10908 (90 FR 14705), âAdjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States,â (Proclamation 10908) finding that imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts continue to threaten to impair the national security of the United States and imposing 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. Proclamation 10908 imposed a 25 percent tariff on certain imports of automobiles, effective April 3, 2025, and certain imports of automobile parts, effective May 3, 2025.
On April 29, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10925 (90 FR 18899), which allowed for automobile manufactures assembling automobiles in the United States to apply for an import adjustment offset amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under Proclamation 10908 on imports of automobiles parts. Proclamation 10925 required that within 30 days of the date of the order the Secretary of the Department of Commerce (Commerce) shall establish a process by which automobile manufacturers could submit documentation supporting eligibility and a claim for an import adjustment offset amount. A prepared notice announces procedures for administration of the import adjustment offset amount program, including application, documentation, and certification requirements, eligibility conditions, and coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
On June 13, 2025, the International Trade Administration published a Notice titled âProcedures To Administer Import Adjustment Offset Amounts for Certain Imports of Automobile Parts Under Proclamation 10908, as Amendedâ (90 FR 25027), which established procedures for automobile manufacturers to apply for and use the import adjustment offset amount established by Presidential Proclamation 10925 of April 29, 2025 (90 FR 18899), âAmendments to Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United Statesâ (Proclamation 10925) to incentivize domestic automobile production and reduce American reliance on imports of foreign automobiles and their parts.
Proclamation 10984 of October 17, 2025, âAdjusting Imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts, and Buses Into the United States,â (Proclamation 10984) took similar action to address the threat imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (MHDV) and Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts (MHDVPs) pose to the national security of the United States; that Proclamation also amended the offset rules established by Proclamation 10925.
Proclamation 10984 also allowed engine manufacturers assembling automobile engines and MHDV engines in the United States to apply for an import adjustment offset amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under Proclamations 10908 and 10984 on imports of engine parts. Proclamation 10984 required Commerce to establish an import adjustment offset process for automobile engine manufacturers and MHDV engine manufacturers equivalent to that provided for automobile manufacturers and MHDV manufacturers, with offsets accruals based on the aggregate value of automobile engine and MHDV engines assembled in the United States by the engine manufacturer, with the same accrual percentage rate and U.S. assembly restrictions as were provided in the Proclamation for automobile manufacturers and MHDV manufacturers.
