SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
On March 26, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10908 (90 FR
14705), ``Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into
the United States,'' (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 (``Section
232''). 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 automobile 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
notice announced 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).
Presidential Proclamation 10984 of October 17, 2025 determines that
imports of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, their parts, and buses
threaten to impair U.S. national security and therefore imposes
corrective trade measures under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act.
The Proclamation establishes a 25 percent tariff on covered medium- and
heavy-duty vehicles and parts, and a 10 percent tariff on buses and
certain related vehicles, effective November 1, 2025. It also creates
an import adjustment offset program allowing manufacturers that
assemble qualifying vehicles in the United States to offset certain
tariff liabilities based on a percentage of the value of domestically
produced vehicles assembled between 2025 and 2030. The Secretary of
Commerce is directed to implement application, documentation, and
enforcement procedures in coordination with CBP, with the overarching
objective of strengthening domestic manufacturing capacity, reducing
reliance on foreign supply chains, and safeguarding national security
interests.
II. Method of Collection
Manufacturers seeking an import adjustment offset amount must
submit documentation for each period for which an import adjustment
offset amount is sought as defined by Commerce (i.e., one set of
documentation for the period of April 3, 2025 through April 30, 2026;
and a separate set of documentation for the period of May 1, 2026
through April 30, 2027). The information collected will be used by
Commerce staff to facilitate the Secretary's review of the applications
and to make a determination of eligibility for the tariff offset on
their imported parts. Manufacturers may submit their applications
electronically to: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#751400011a1a13130610013501071411105b121a03"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3e5f4b4a515158584d5b4a7e4a4c5f5a5b10595148">[email protected]</span></a>.
Domestic producers of automobiles or automobile parts articles, or
any industry association representing one or more such producers, may
submit automobile parts articles inclusion requests during two-week
submission windows that ITA will open four times annually at the
beginning of each January, April, July, and October.
