Last updated: April 2026 dataCab and body assemblies for passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles represent a capital-intensive segment of the automotive supply chain, with production closely tied to OEM platform cycles and just-in-time delivery requirements. Imported motor vehicle bodies are subject to Section 232 tariff exposure as automotive parts, making origin and content documentation critical for importers. Classification at the 10-digit HTS level turns on vehicle type, material composition, and whether the body is complete or incomplete, so precise product descriptions are essential for entry.

Motor vehicle bodies imported into the US may be subject to Section 232 tariffs applicable to automotive parts. Importers should confirm the applicable HTS classification and any proclamation-based exclusions with a licensed customs broker before entry.
Customs classification distinguishes between complete body assemblies and incomplete or unfinished bodies based on the essential character of the article at time of importation. An incomplete body that has the essential character of a finished body may still be classified as a complete body under GRI 2(a), which can affect duty treatment significantly.
