Trump, in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, said, “Beginning November 1st, 2025, all Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks coming into the United States from other Countries will be Tariffed at the Rate of 25%.”
The top five countries exporting trucks to the US by customs value are Mexico, Canada, Japan, Germany, and Finland, the report added.
Last month, Trump had signaled that tariffs on heavy truck imports would take effect from October 1, 2025. He stated that the new duties would benefit American truck manufacturers, including Paccar-owned Peterbilt and Kenworth, as well as Daimler Truck’s Freightliner.
“These tariffs are necessary to restore fairness and protect our workers,” Trump said at the White House. “We cannot continue allowing our industries to be undermined by foreign dumping and unfair practices.”
