USMCA MHDVs: Section 232 Tariff to Apply Only on Non-U.S. Content
Commerce published procedures allowing importers of USMCA-qualifying medium/heavy-duty vehicles to document U.S. content so the 25% Section 232 tariff applies only to non-U.S. content value.
Commerce published submission procedures for importers of USMCA-qualifying medium and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs) to document U.S. content so the 25% Section 232 tariff can apply exclusively to the non-U.S. content value.
Why it matters
This can materially reduce duty exposure for compliant USMCA MHDVs by shrinking the dutiable base, but it is documentation-heavy and requires consistent valuation and certification.
Watchouts
Submissions open Feb 2, 2026. CFO/GC-level certification required. Retroactive treatment possible to Nov 1, 2025 (discretionary).
