Classify vehicles and parts with the tariff facts attached
Connect Chapter 87 classification, enumerated trade-remedy coverage, origin evidence, and USMCA qualification in one reviewable workflow.
Reviewed July 31, 2026. Section 232 coverage is based on enumerated vehicles and parts, not an entire heading. Confirm the current list and entry date before filing.
Classification workflow
Start with the vehicle or part—not a generic rate table
Passenger vehicles, trucks, special-purpose vehicles, components, and accessories follow different classification paths. The exact tariff line and current Chapter 99 coverage control the result.
Complete vehicle or part
Establish whether the item is a complete vehicle, an incomplete vehicle, a body, or a part suitable principally for a particular vehicle.
Vehicle design
Document propulsion, gross vehicle weight, seating, cargo configuration, engine displacement, and whether the design is principally for people or goods.
Part identity and use
Record the part number, material, function, installation location, and vehicle platform. A broad label such as “motor vehicle part” is not enough.
Origin evidence
Keep manufacturing records for substantial transformation, USMCA regional value content, core parts, labor value content, and any relevant U.S. content.
Section 232
Coverage must be matched to the current enumeration
Specified passenger vehicles and light trucks, along with enumerated automotive parts, can be subject to the automotive Section 232 action. USMCA qualification does not by itself answer the Section 232 question, and treatment can depend on content and the exact provision.

Separate legacy China duties from the 2026 action
Legacy China Section 301 treatment remains code-specific. The July 24, 2026 forced-labor action reaches covered goods from 60 economies, but its treatment may be additive, capped net of MFN, or exempt. Articles subject to qualifying Section 232 measures are exempt from this newer forced-labor action.
