Rate Overview
Effective tariff rates for commercial trucks range from 50% to 50% depending on the country of origin. The lowest-cost sourcing origins include China (50%), Canada (50%), Mexico (50%). The highest tariff burden applies to imports from Kosovo (50%), Monaco (50%), San Marino (50%). The average MFN base rate of 25% serves as the starting point, with surcharges and trade agreements creating the wide range of effective rates across 195 countries. The tariff authorities actually charged on this product from at least one origin are MFN duties and Section 232 product tariffs.
Price Impact
The 25% 'chicken tax' on light trucks has long protected US pickup truck manufacturers; imported commercial trucks carry substantial baseline duty costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 25% 'chicken tax' (HTS 8704) was enacted in 1964 as retaliation for European tariffs on US chicken exports. It remains in effect today and is a key reason US automakers dominate the domestic pickup market.
No. The 25% Section 232 duty (Proclamation 10984 — 90 Fed. Reg. 48451, effective November 1, 2025) covers medium- and heavy-duty trucks and their parts (core HTS 8704.22/23/32/42/43/52/60/90, plus 8701 road tractors and 8705/8706/8709 chassis and works-trucks). Light-duty pickups classified under HTS 8704.21 are NOT covered by this action and continue to carry only the pre-existing 25% MFN 'chicken tax'. For covered medium/heavy trucks the 25% Section 232 duty is additive on top of that chicken tax. USMCA-qualifying trucks are not automatically zero-rated for Section 232 — the proclamation provides only a content-based partial offset (the 25% applied to the value of non-U.S. content) that requires Secretary approval, which differs from the usual USMCA full exemption.
The tariff authorities actually charged on this product from at least one origin are MFN duties and Section 232 product tariffs. Which of them a given shipment pays depends on its origin country and its HTS classification.
