Tariffs, Trade, and How $10 Billion in Border Duties Are Reshaping America’s Car Industry

America’s automotive industry is being forced into one of its most dramatic realignments in decades. It’s not because of electric vehicles, new emissions mandates, or the latest design trends. This time, the shift is driven by tariffs.

According to a new report from the Anderson Economic Group (AEG), U.S. automakers have already paid more than $10 billion in tariffs this year on vehicles and parts imported from Canada and Mexico. That’s not a typo — $10 billion, and counting.

These costs aren’t just numbers on a balance sheet. They’re reshaping where companies build, how they source materials, and even which vehicles Americans will be able to buy in the coming years.
