Background
Proclamation 10908, issued in March 2025, adjusted imports of automobiles and automobile parts into the United States (read TradeNewsFlash). The proclamation imposed specific duty rates on these imports and required the Secretary of Commerce to establish a process for including additional parts within the scope of these duties.
An interim final rule published in September 2025 established recurring two-week windows for submissions in January, April, July, and October each year (read TradeNewsFlash).
