Important Notice Regarding Vehicle Imports to the United States
New government regulations will significantly increase tariffs on vehicles not manufactured within the United States, effective April 2, 2025. This change impacts both new and used passenger vehicles (classified under HS code 8703, including cars, station wagons, and racing cars).
Currently, these vehicles are subject to a tariff of 2.5%. However, starting April 2, 2025, any vehicles arriving in the U.S. will be subject to a new tariff rate of 25%. This represents a substantial increase of 22.5% on the value of the vehicle.
This tariff increase aligns passenger vehicles with the existing 25% tariff that has been in place for trucks since 1964.
Impact on Consumers:
As nearly half of all vehicles sold in the United States are imported, this tariff increase is expected to significantly raise prices for consumers on a wide range of vehicles, including those from foreign manufacturers and even American brands that assemble their automobiles overseas.
Effective Date:
The 25% tariff will be applied to all finished cars and trucks shipped into the United States that arrive on or after April 2, 2025.
Current CBP Information (as of March 26, 2025):
Please note that the current U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) information, as of today's date, reflects the existing tariff rates:
Autos: 2.5%
Trucks: 25%
Motorcycles: 2.4% or free

Important Considerations:
This new tariff will significantly increase the cost of importing vehicles into the United States.
The increase applies to both new and used passenger vehicles arriving after the effective date.
Consumers should be aware of these changes when considering the purchase or import of vehicles from outside the United States.
