Tariffs on the details of the vehicles entering the US come into force

25% of the import tax on engines, transfers and other key vehicles entered into force in the US, raising the pressure on the industry, finding its way through the thickets of changes in politics.

The new tariff comes a few days after Trump’s Donald weakened the measure In response to business worries but does not eliminate it.

The US president said the new tariff, as well as 25% of the car import tax that came into force last month, designed to push manufacturers producers to more production in the US.

But analysts note that any direct extensions in the US can come through production elsewhere, as well as leading to higher business costs – and ultimately higher customer prices.

So far companies were protected from pain like Concerns on raising prices caused a splash of sales.

General Motors and Ford this week reported the growth of two -digit sales that continue in April.

But GM also warned that this year as a result of the tariffs is expected as much as $ 5 billion (3.7 billion pounds), including approximately $ 2 billion at the expense of the cars it makes in South Korea and exports to the US.

The executives said that prices would now rise by approximately 1%rather than fall as previously forecast.

As a token, other car companies, including Stellantis, the manufacturer Jeep, Fiat and Chrysler, retreated financial recommendations for the next year, citing the situation.

“We are still at extreme uncertainty,” said the chief financial director of Stellantis Asterman.

Almost half of the vehicles sold in the US last year were imported outside the country.

When in March, Trump announced plans to travel by car and certain car parts with 25% tariffs, the announcement that took place against the background of other tariffs, he directed shock waves through the industry, attracting warnings about higher prices and risks for production and sales.

Since then, the president has mitigated his policy, especially against Mexico and Canada, the key parts of the industry supply chain from the decades of free trade between the three countries.

Currently, the spare parts made in Mexico and Canada in accordance with this free trade agreement will be deprived of duties. Initially, officials described this release as temporary, but after customs instructions issued this week, analysts said it probably follows.

This week, Trump also signed measures to protect firms from collision with several tariffs on one subject while setting two -year manufacturers manufacturers to reduce the duties they need to pay for spare parts imported from other countries and use in cars from the US.

The administration has already stated that companies that import cars made in Canada and in Mexico will not charge tariffs for the US content.

“The changes that have taken place in the last couple of days will be easier … But that’s why it’s still a sharp change in the market,” said Stephanie Brinley, the chief car analyst of the S&P Global Mobility. “It’s still a big tariff.”

The executives of some firms said they are studying ways to increase production in the US to mitigate new costs.

General Motors said the tariffs had expanded the production of trucks at the Fort -Uene plant, Indiana. He also said this week that Canada would reduce the output.

Mercedes also stated that it has flexibility to expand at its Alabama factory.

Art Wheaton, Director of Study University Studies Cornella, said the United States could see more similar ads in the coming months, but it did not expect that new factories would soon be built, given the value of these investments and how quickly the situation is changing.

“If I’m going to make a multi-billion dollar decision … I wouldn’t do it on the market that is unstable,” he said.

The administration said it was working on trade transactions with key countries for the industry, including South Korea and Japan.

Mr. Witton can also change his policy if signs of economic damage.

“It’s all pretty now,” he said. “I don’t think the full influence of these tariffs is still hit.”
