This designation is expected to reduce vehicle costs by up to 5% for international sales and improve working capital for domestic sales by deferring customs duties until the vehicle is delivered to customers.

Tony Aquila, Canoo’s Investor, Executive Chairman and CEO, expressed gratitude to stakeholders for achieving this milestone, emphasizing the economic growth, job creation, and long-term financial benefits for Canoo ( GOEV ). The company plans to expand its manufacturing site in Oklahoma, aiming to bring more supply partners closer to the facility.
