Trump's autos tariffs to cover $600 bln in imports, including laptop computers
Apr 2, 2025 2:15 PM

WASHINGTON, April 2 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald

Trump's 25% autos tariffs will cover nearly $600 billion worth

of vehicles and auto parts and extend to all computer imports

into the U.S., including laptops, according to a Reuters

analysis of tariff codes included in a federal register notice

on Wednesday.

The update of Trump's autos tariff proclamation from last

week included nearly 150 auto parts categories that will face

tariffs starting on May 3, a month after Thursday's midnight

activation of 25% tariffs on vehicle imports.

The list includes tariff codes for engines, transmissions,

lithium-ion batteries and other major components, along with

less expensive parts including tires, shock absorbers, spark

plug wires and brake hoses.

But a major surprise was the inclusion of the four-digit

tariff code covering all computers, which are among the biggest

global import categories into the U.S. at $138.5 billion in

2024, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.
