U.S. imports of battery electric passenger vehicles (bev) (HS 870380) totaled $778.6M in April 2026, traded with 24 countries.
Importers of Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles (BEV) paid $118.4M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $686.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles (BEV) imports of $778.6M in April 2026 ran 15% above the year-to-date monthly average of $676.9M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBattery electric vehicles (BEVs) powered exclusively by an electric motor—with no internal combustion engine of any kind—are classified here, and the heading's six tariff lines introduce a range-based subdivision unique among passenger vehicle headings: vehicles with a range of 250 miles or less are separated from those exceeding 250 miles, in addition to the standard new/used split. This range threshold has direct commercial significance as the US EV market matures and range anxiety remains a consumer consideration. Mexico leads US imports under this heading, followed by Germany and Japan, reflecting both USMCA-integrated EV assembly and established European and Asian automaker export programs.

The range figure used for classification is the EPA-rated range (or equivalent official test-cycle range for foreign-market vehicles), as stated in the manufacturer's technical documentation or EPA certification. Importers should retain the relevant test-cycle certification or manufacturer's specification sheet to support the chosen 10-digit line, since the 250-mile cutoff separates distinct tariff lines.
Section 232 tariff measures on passenger motor vehicles apply to the vehicle category and are not limited by powertrain type, so BEVs imported under 870380 are within scope. Importers should monitor any product-specific exclusions or modifications to the measure, as the regulatory landscape for EV trade policy continues to evolve.
