Auto Parts Offset Instrument

Procedures to Administer Import Adjustment Offset Amounts for Certain Imports of Automobile Parts
Under Proclamation 10908, as Amended
Introduction
This instrument implements the procedures for automobile manufacturers to apply for and use the import
adjustment offset amount established by Presidential Proclamation 10925 of April 29, 2025, “Amendments
to Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States,” (Proclamation 10925) to
incentivize domestic automobile production and reduce American reliance on imports of foreign
automobiles and their parts. Eligibility for the import adjustment offset amount is based on domestic final
assembly of automobiles during an approximately two-year period. Import adjustment offset amounts
awarded for qualifying automobiles assembled between April 3, 2025, and April 30, 2027, may be carried
forward beyond that period until the full approved import adjustment offset amount is exhausted. No new
import adjustment offset amounts will be granted for automobiles assembled after April 30, 2027. The intent
of this program is to strengthen the U.S. automobile assembly operation capabilities and ensure national
security objectives are met by reducing reliance on foreign automobile production and parts sourcing.
How to Submit Application
Applications can be submitted starting June XX, 2025.
Applications must be submitted electronically to: autooffset@trade.gov

Review and Approval Process
The Department will review each submission for completeness and compliance. The Department may
request supplemental documentation or clarification. Upon verification by the Department that a submission
is consistent with this notice and upon a determination of the value of the U.S. content and non-U.S. content

Protection (CBP) of that determination and of the value of the non-U.S. content for each model line. The
Commerce Department will provide CBP with a list of importers and automobiles authorized by Commerce,
