USMCA MHDVs: Process to Apply 232 Tariff Only on Non-U.S. Content
Commerce published submission procedures for importers of USMCA-qualifying medium/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.
⚠️ What to Watch
Submissions open Feb 2, 2026. CFO/GC-level certification required. Retroactive treatment possible to Nov 1, 2025 (discretionary).
