A van-type trailer has an enclosed body — typically with walls, a roof, and doors — designed to protect cargo from the elements. A platform trailer has a flat or skeletal deck without permanent enclosing sides or roof, used for oversized, heavy, or containerized loads. The structural design of the cargo-carrying body, not the cargo itself, determines which line applies.
Trailers qualifying as originating goods under USMCA may be eligible for preferential tariff treatment, provided they meet the applicable rules of origin, including regional value content and tariff classification change requirements. Importers should obtain a valid USMCA certification of origin from the manufacturer and confirm eligibility with a licensed customs broker before claiming the preference.
