Tariff Relief Under U.S.–UK Deal

On June 16, 2025, the White House issued Executive Order (EO) – Implementing the General Terms of the United States of America – United Kingdom Economic Prosperity Deal. The EO details the commitments made by the U.S. regarding certain imports from the United Kingdom (U.K.), on automobiles and parts, pharmaceuticals and ingredients, steel and aluminum, and aerospace products. The tariff changes established will take effect on June 30, 2025.

The deal includes billions of dollars of increased market access for American exports, especially for beef, ethanol, and certain other American agricultural exports.  In addition, the United Kingdom will reduce or eliminate numerous non-tariff barriers that unfairly discriminate against American products, hurt the United States’ manufacturing base, and threaten the national security of the United States.

Key Highlights

Automobiles

The U.S. will establish an annual tariff-rate quota of 100,000 vehicles classified in heading 8703 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) that are products of the U.K.

  • Automobiles imported into the U.S. within the tariff-rate quota shall instead be subject to a 7.5% tariff, in addition to the most-favored-nation rate for automobiles of 2.5% [2025 shall be limited to 65,205 passenger vehicles].
  • Imports in excess of the tariff-rate quota shall remain subject to the duties imposed by Proclamation 10908- Section 232 on automobiles at 25%, in addition to the most-favored-nation rate for automobiles of 2.5%.
  • The tariff-rate quota shall be effective June 30, 2025, by application of additional HTSUS classification number 9903.94.31 that sets forth the ordinary customs duty treatment for certain passenger vehicles that are products of the U.K. and classified under the following subheadings:
    • 8703.22.01
    • 8703.23.01
    • 8703.24.01
    • 8703.31.01

Auto Parts

Auto parts specified in note 33 (g) to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS that would otherwise be subject to a 25% tariff under Section 232 – Auto Parts, shall instead be subject to a total tariff of 10% (including any most-favored-nation tariffs), provided they are products of the U.K. and are for use in automobiles that are products of the U.K.
