The document will go into effect on November 1.
From the beginning of November, the United States will change the rules for importers of trucks - a new 25 percent duty will be introduced, which will affect shipments of large and medium-sized trucks from abroad.
It is reported Reuters.
U.S. President Donald Trump approved the decision to impose a 25 percent duty on imports of medium and large trucks. The document will take effect on November 1, 2025 and will affect a wide range of vehicles, including trucks, buses, garbage trucks and special equipment.
The report said that the new measure applies to all medium and heavy-duty vehicles coming to the United States from abroad. This decision is aimed at supporting the American auto industry and reducing dependence on imports.
What will change for manufacturers and the market
It is reported that trucks, utility vehicles, school and route buses, tractor-trailers, as well as semi-trailers and other specialized equipment will fall under the duty.
Experts predict that the innovation will lead to higher prices for commercial vehicles and increase pressure on foreign manufacturers operating in the U.S. market.
The White House believes that the new duty will help create additional incentives for domestic production and increase employment in the automotive sector. At the same time, for American buyers it may mean a gradual increase in the price of imported models.
This is not the first decision of the Trump administration aimed at protecting domestic manufacturers. In late September, the president announced new duties on imports of wood and wood products - 10 percent on lumber and 25 percent on kitchen cabinets and upholstered furniture.
