  • The U.S. has imposed 25% tariffs on imported auto parts, expanding upon previous tariffs on imported cars that began in April 2025.
  • These tariffs will impact prices broadly because even U.S.-made vehicles often contain foreign-made components like engines and batteries.
  • The tariffs exclude parts from Canada and Mexico if they meet North American trade agreement rules, and cars made in the U.S. have a two-year exemption from parts tariffs.
  • The administration states the tariffs aim to strengthen national security by encouraging domestic auto production and reducing reliance on foreign parts.
