Summary:
This notice announces the 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," (Proclamation 10925) to incentivize domestic automobile production and reduce American reliance on imports of foreign automobiles and their parts. Eligibility for the import adjustment offset amount is based on domestic final assembly of automobiles during an approximately two-year period. Import adjustment offset amounts awarded for qualifying automobiles assembled between April 3, 2025, and April 30, 2027, may be carried forward beyond that period until the full approved import adjustment offset amount is exhausted. No new import adjustment offset amounts will be granted for automobiles assembled after April 30, 2027. The intent of this program is to strengthen the U.S. automobile assembly operation capabilities and ensure national security objectives are met by reducing reliance on foreign automobile production and parts sourcing.
