Adjusting Imports Of Medium- And Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- And Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts, And Buses Into The United States

The order directs federal agencies to adjust imports of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, their parts, and buses into the United States to address national security concerns. The Secretary of Commerce, after investigating, found these types of imports to be potentially harmful to national security and recommended actions such as imposing a 25 percent ad valorem duty on these vehicles and their key parts, and a 10 percent ad valorem duty on buses. The goal of these adjustments is to stabilize the market share of U.S.-produced medium and heavy-duty vehicles at approximately 80 percent.
