The President issued a Proclamation on April 29, 2025. The Proclamation states in part “To more effectively eliminate the threat to impair national security posted by imports of automobiles and automobile parts,...it is necessary to modify the system imposed in Proclamation 10908 by reducing the duties assessed on automobile parts for 15% of the value of an automobile assembled in the United States for 1 year and equivalent to 10% of that value for an additional year...” The Proclamation continues and states that “For automobiles assembled in the United States, automobile manufacturers shall be eligible to receive an import adjustment offset amount applicable to section 232 duties on automobiles...”
The Proclamation also defines the schedule for the import adjustment offset. “The automobile manufacturer may apply for an import adjustment offset amount equal to 3.75% of the aggregate MSRP value of all automobiles assembled in the US from April 3, 2025, through April 30, 2025.” It goes on to say, “The automobile manufacturer may apply for an import adjustment offset amount equal to 2.5% of the aggregate MSRP value of all automobiles assembled in the United States from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027.”
The Proclamation states that a process will be established for manufacturers to seek an import adjustment offset amount.
The President also issued an Executive Order on April 29, 2025. This order exempts good subject to 232 automobile and auto parts tariffs from section 232 steel/aluminum tariffs, and IEEPA drug/border tariffs for goods from Canada and Mexico.

Any refunds will be processed pursuant to applicable laws and U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s standard procedures for such refunds.
