The Auto Care Association launched a new auto parts tariff calculator tool exclusively for its members. Several rounds of new tariffs have been introduced by the Trump Administration since February 2025. Understanding how and which tariffs currently apply to automotive businesses has grown in complexity.
To address the need for clarity during this time of fluctuation in global trade relations for U.S.-based companies, the Auto Care Association developed an interactive tool for calculating these new tariffs.

New Tool Eases Supply Chain Planning

“The recent rounds of tariffs on automotive imports have introduced additional complexity to supply chain planning and cost management,” said Lisa Foshee, senior vice president, government affairs and general counsel, Auto Care Association. “U.S. automotive companies are reviewing sourcing strategies and production logistics to maintain operational efficiency and meet regulatory requirements in a shifting trade environment. We are pleased to be able to offer this new tool to our members to simplify the process.”

What the Calculator Helps You Identify

The Auto Care Association’s auto parts tariff calculator helps auto industry businesses identify which recent United States tariffs may apply cumulatively to their products, including:

• Section 301 Tariffs on China
• International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) Tariffs
• Reciprocal Tariffs
• Section 232 Tariffs on Auto Parts
• Section 232 Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum

The calculator guides users through a step-by-step process. It determines potential tariff exposure based on stacking rules, exemptions and product-specific considerations.
