A United States Presidential Proclamation will impose tariffs on imports of trucks, truck parts and buses, starting on November 1, 2025.<\/p>\n
The Proclamation imposes a 25% tariff on imports of medium- and heavy-duty trucks and truck parts:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Medium- and heavy-duty trucks include Class 3 to Class 8 vehicles, like large pick-up trucks, moving trucks, cargo trucks, dump trucks, and tractors for eighteen-wheelers.<\/p>\n
\u2022 For medium- and heavy-duty trucks that do not qualify for preferential tariff treatment under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the tariff will apply to the full value of the vehicle. For medium- and heavy-duty trucks that qualify for preferential tariff treatment under the USMCA, the tariff will only apply to the value of the non-U.S. content in the vehicle.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The tariff on medium- and heavy-duty truck parts will apply to key parts, including engines, transmissions, tires, and chassis.<\/p>\n
\u2022 USMCA-compliant medium- and heavy-duty truck parts will not be subject to tariffs imposed in the Proclamation until the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, establishes a process to apply tariffs to the non-U.S. content of the parts.<\/p>\n
The Proclamation also imposes a 10% tariff on imports of buses, including school buses, transit buses, and motor coaches.<\/p>\n
