2026-09782: Amending the Procedures To Administer Import Adjustment Offset Amounts for Certain Imports of Automobile Parts Under Proclamation 10908 To Include Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts

Summary

On June 13, 2025, the International Trade Administration published a Notice titled "Procedures To Administer Import Adjustment Offset Amounts for Certain Imports of Automobile Parts Under Proclamation 10908, as Amended" (June 13 Notice), which established procedures for automobile manufacturers to apply for and use the import adjustment offset amount established by Presidential Proclamation 10925 of April 29, 2025, "Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States" to incentivize domestic automobile production and reduce American reliance on imports of foreign automobiles and their parts. This notice amends those procedures consistent with the amendments to Proclamation 10925 set forth in Presidential Proclamation 10984 of October 17, 2025, "Adjusting Imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts, and Buses Into the United States". This notice also amends those procedures to allow domestic manufacturers of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (MHDV) to claim import adjustment offsets for imports of MHDV parts (MHDVPs) and automobile parts in a manner consistent with Proclamation 10984. The procedures exclude certain heavy-duty vehicle assembly operations determined to be "limited production operations" from being considered in the calculation of offsets, and notes that these procedures will be amended to exclude limited production operations for automobiles and medium- duty vehicles at a later date. This notice replaces the procedures set forth in ITA's June 13 Notice. The import adjustment offset process will be amended at a later date to establish an equivalent process for domestic manufacturers of automobile engines and MHDV engines, as provided for in Proclamation 10984.
