US President Donald Trump allows up to one-month tariff exemption for auto parts imports

update 2025.03.27 08:40

US President Donald Trump will allow up to a one-month reprieve for auto parts imports from his proposed 25% automobile tariffs, per Reuters. 

The proclamation said that automobiles will be subject to the 25% tariff after 04.01 GMT on April 3, but auto parts will be subject to the tariffs on a date to be specified in a Federal Register notice, "but no later than May 3, 2025."

The proclamation noted that the duties "shall continue in effect unless such actions are expressly reduced, modified or terminated."   

Market reaction

At the time of writing, the USD/CAD pair is trading 0.24% higher on the day to trade at 1.4300.

Tariffs FAQs

Tariffs are customs duties levied on certain merchandise imports or a category of products. Tariffs are designed to help local producers and manufacturers be more competitive in the market by providing a price advantage over similar goods that can be imported. Tariffs are widely used as tools of protectionism, along with trade barriers and import quotas.

Although tariffs and taxes both generate government revenue to fund public goods and services, they have several distinctions. Tariffs are prepaid at the port of entry, while taxes are paid at the time of purchase. Taxes are imposed on individual taxpayers and businesses, while tariffs are paid by importers.

There are two schools of thought among economists regarding the usage of tariffs. While some argue that tariffs are necessary to protect domestic industries and address trade imbalances, others see them as a harmful tool that could potentially drive prices higher over the long term and lead to a damaging trade war by encouraging tit-for-tat tariffs.

During the run-up to the presidential election in November 2024, Donald Trump made it clear that he intends to use tariffs to support the US economy and American producers. In 2024, Mexico, China and Canada accounted for 42% of total US imports. In this period, Mexico stood out as the top exporter with $466.6 billion, according to the US Census Bureau. Hence, Trump wants to focus on these three nations when imposing tariffs. He also plans to use the revenue generated through tariffs to lower personal income taxes.
