There are currently no specific tariffs or quotas on trucks.
However, the Secretary of Commerce initiated a Section 232 investigation on April 25, 2025, into whether imports of cargo trucks threaten to impair national security. Comments from interested parties were due May 16, 2025. This investigation covers the following:
- medium-duty trucks; i.e., those with a gross vehicle weight of more than 10,000 and under 26,001 pounds
- heavy-duty trucks; i.e., those with a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more
- individual components and systems of such trucks, including engines and engine parts, transmissions and powertrain parts, and electrical components
ST&R offers a three-pronged approach for avoiding, mitigating, and/or recovering these and other tariffs. For more information on which of these strategies might be most effective for your business, please contact ST&R.
