US EditionTrump says 25% tariff for medium and heavy duty trucks to start Nov. 1
The 25% tariffs target medium and heavy trucks to protect domestic manufacturers amid rising imports, with some models from Mexico tripling since 2019, government data shows.
- President Donald Trump said on Monday that 25% tariffs on imported medium-and heavy-duty trucks will start on November 1, 2025.
- A Commerce Department probe earlier this year under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act found grounds for tariffs using national security authority.
- After an initial Oct 1 timetable slipped, Detroit's major automakers lobbied to delay tariffs, while Stellantis sought a waiver to avoid up to 25% duties on over 200,000 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks from its Saltillo plant, warning costs could reach $2 billion.
- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce warned against new truck levies, noting Mexico’s exports average 50% U.S. content while Ford Motor Company backed the tariffs as pro-manufacturing.
- The move follows a flurry of tariffs enacted this year, including 50% tariffs on steel, aluminum and copper, and a 25% tariff on imported automobiles and auto parts earlier in 2025; legal challenges to some levies will reach the U.S. Supreme Court in November.
