Japanese Imports Under IEEPA

Japan, the fourth-largest source of U.S. imports, was subject to IEEPA tariffs of up to 24%. Given the high value of Japanese exports — vehicles, precision machinery, electronics, and industrial equipment — even a 24% tariff generated enormous duty totals for U.S. importers.

Automotive: The Dominant Category

Japanese vehicles and automotive parts represent the single largest category of U.S. imports from Japan. Automakers, dealers importing vehicles, and companies sourcing Japanese automotive components all accumulated substantial IEEPA duties. Per-entry amounts for vehicle imports are among the highest of any product category.

Precision Machinery and Technology

Japan is a leading source of precision manufacturing equipment, semiconductor production machinery, and advanced technology components. These high-value capital goods carry proportionally large duty amounts, and IEEPA tariffs added significant costs to U.S. businesses investing in Japanese equipment and technology.
