President Trump's tariffs on foreign-made auto parts began on May 3, with automakers receiving some concessions from the administration but still feeling the heat on others.

U.S Customs and Border Protection seized more than 211,000 counterfeit auto parts in fiscal year 2024, up from the prior year. News Sports Autos Entertainment Advertise Obituaries eNewspaper Legals.

While auto parts from USMCA-compliant suppliers are exempt from the tariffs, imported vehicles themselves are still subject to the 25% duties, which could lead to higher vehicle prices in the U.S.
