regarding automobile parts inclusion requests.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 26, 2025, the President issued
Proclamation 10908, ``Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile
Parts Into the United States'' (Automobile Proclamation). This
proclamation imposed specified rates of duty on imports of automobiles
and certain automobile parts.
The Automobile Proclamation also required the Secretary of Commerce
to establish a process for including additional automobile parts within
the scope of the duties established in the Automobile Proclamation. An
interim final rule (IFR) published on September 17, 2025 (90 FR 44767)
established a process for including additional automobile parts within
the scope of the duties authorized by the President under section 232
of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (Section 232). This IFR
established recurring two-week windows each year for submissions of
automobile parts in January, April, July, and October, beginning on the
first of those months.
This notice announces the opening of the January 2026 inclusions
window for submissions for automobile parts for two weeks starting on
January 1, 2026, and closing at 11:59 p.m. ET on January 14, 2026.
Requests must be submitted to the automobile parts inclusion inbox at
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6d2c18190224030e01181e0402031e2d191f0c0908430a021b"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1a5b6f6e75537479766f69737574695a6e687b7e7f347d756c">[email protected]</span></a>. Following the close of the submission window,
accepted inclusion requests will be posted for a two-week public
comment period on Docket ID ITA-2025-0039 on <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>. See the
prior published IFR for details on the inclusions submission process.
Prior to submission, please ensure that automobile parts being
submitted for consideration are not already within the scope of the
duties imposed by the Automobile Proclamation. Furthermore, if a
decision has not been made on a previously submitted inclusions
request, please do not submit an additional request with the same
automobile parts unless new pertinent information is available for
consideration.
Dated: December 8, 2025.
