Last updated: August 2026 dataImported passenger car bodies and chassis — whether bare body-in-white structures or rolling chassis — feed US assembly operations and the collision-repair aftermarket. Section 232 measures applicable to certain steel and aluminum content embedded in these structures can affect landed cost, and importers must carefully assess whether a given article meets the threshold for classification as a body or chassis versus a complete vehicle. Proper valuation and classification at entry are essential, as CBP scrutinizes the distinction between incomplete vehicles and body/chassis components.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction exports are not shown for this slug.
A rolling chassis — one that includes the frame, axles, and drivetrain but lacks a body — is generally classified separately from a body shell. CBP applies GRI rules and may issue binding rulings to resolve ambiguous cases; importers should seek a ruling before committing to a classification if the article is borderline.
To the extent that imported bodies and chassis are made of steel or aluminum, they may be subject to Section 232 tariffs depending on their specific HTS subheading and the country of origin. Importers should consult a licensed customs broker to determine applicable trade-remedy exposure for each shipment.
