Last updated: April 2026 dataChassis and body assemblies for trucks and buses occupy a distinct position in the automotive supply chain: they are intermediate goods that US vehicle manufacturers and upfitters integrate with domestically sourced or separately imported powertrains and specialized equipment. The country of origin for a completed vehicle can differ from the origin of its chassis, creating complex marking and valuation questions under CBP rules. Section 232 tariff measures on steel — a primary material in chassis fabrication — directly affect the landed cost of imported truck and bus chassis.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP applies a 'substantial transformation' test: if the imported chassis undergoes processing in the US that creates a new and different article of commerce with a distinctive name, character, and use, the finished vehicle may be considered US-origin for marking purposes. However, the chassis itself retains its foreign origin for tariff purposes at the time of importation, and the correct HTS classification and applicable duties apply at that point.
Truck bodies and chassis imported separately are classified under their own HTS provisions as parts or incomplete vehicles, which may carry different duty rates than a complete, assembled truck. Importers sometimes structure shipments as separate body and chassis entries for commercial or logistical reasons, but CBP scrutinizes such arrangements to ensure they are not structured solely to obtain a lower duty rate on what is effectively a complete vehicle.
