BACKGROUND
On June 16, 2025, the President issued Executive Order 14309 “Implementing the General Terms of the United States of America-United Kingdom Economic Prosperity Deal” which provides for: (a) a tariff-rate quota on automobiles that are products of the United Kingdom (UK); (b) preferential tariff treatment for automobile parts that are products of the UK; and (c) preferential tariff treatment for products of the UK that fall under the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft. See 90 FR 26419 .
For information about the tariff-rate quota for automobiles of the United Kingdom classified under certain Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 8703 classifications, see Quota Bulletin 25-508 2025 United Kingdom Automobile Tariff Rate Quota for entry filing instructions.
