Automotive: Among the Hardest Hit

The automotive industry faced some of the steepest IEEPA tariffs due to the high value of vehicles and the global nature of supply chains. A single shipment of vehicles from an affected country could carry tens of thousands in IEEPA duties. Parts and components, imported continuously for assembly operations, accumulated massive duty totals over the tariff period.

Supply Chain Complexity Creates Opportunity

Modern automotive supply chains span multiple countries and involve hundreds of component categories. This complexity means IEEPA tariffs hit at many points — from stamped steel parts to electronic modules to finished assemblies. Each entry point is a potential refund. Companies with complex supply chains often have the largest total recovery amounts.

OEMs, Tier 1 Suppliers, and Dealers

Whether you're an OEM importing finished vehicles, a Tier 1 supplier importing components for assembly, or a dealer importing specialty vehicles, IEEPA tariff recovery applies. The key is being the importer of record on entries that included IEEPA duties. Even aftermarket parts importers may have significant recovery amounts.
