BERLIN, April 7 (Reuters) - Volkswagen's

Audi is holding back cars that arrived in U.S. ports after April

2 because of the newly imposed 25% autos tariff, a spokesperson

said on Tuesday, confirming the contents of a memo sent to

dealers and reported on by U.S. trade publication Automotive

News.

The carmaker has around 37,000 vehicles, sufficient for

approximately two months of sales, in its U.S. inventory, the

spokesperson added, meaning its cars will continue to be

available for customers.
