Automotive Products
The automotive sector sits at the intersection of some of the most consequential trade policy developments in recent years. Section 232 national security tariffs on steel and aluminum, Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin components, and shifting rules of origin under the USMCA all directly affect automotive manufacturers and their supply chains. Tariff classification of auto parts and accessories presents recurring compliance challenges, as components may be classified differently depending on their stage of manufacture, intended application, or country of origin. NE&J counsels automotive manufacturers, parts suppliers, and importers on tariff classification, duty mitigation strategies, trade remedy exposure, rules of origin compliance, and the impact of evolving trade policy on automotive supply chains.
