U.S. imports of Motor Vehicle Transmission & Power Train Parts (NAICS 336350) totaled $952.7M in August 2026, imported from 81 countries.
Importers of Motor Vehicle Transmission & Power Train Parts paid $80.1M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 8.49% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataEstablishments classified here at the six-digit level manufacture transmissions and power train assemblies—including manual and automatic gearboxes, transfer cases, CV joints, and propeller shafts—as their primary activity. The electrification of vehicle platforms is driving significant product-mix shifts: traditional multi-speed automatic transmissions are giving way to single-speed EV reduction gearboxes and integrated e-axle assemblies, altering both the supplier landscape and the relevant HTS tariff lines. Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum inputs add a layer of cost management complexity for manufacturers sourcing castings and forgings internationally.

Classification depends on the specific HTS heading applicable to the gearbox design and its functional characteristics. Single-speed reduction units for electric drivetrains may classify differently than conventional planetary automatic transmissions. Given the novelty of some EV drivetrain configurations, importers should seek a binding ruling from CBP if classification is uncertain.
Yes. Transfer cases, CV joints, and propeller shafts typically classify under distinct HTS headings from complete transmission assemblies. Correct disaggregation of a power train shipment into its component parts—each with its own tariff line—is essential to avoid misclassification penalties and ensure accurate duty payment.
