New Tool Helps Auto Care Association Members Calculate Potential Tariff Costs

The Auto Care Association has launched a tool for shops to calculate potential tariff costs they may face on parts, as shared in a recent press release.

Available exclusively for ACA members, the Auto Parts Tariff Calculator tool will help shops determine which tariffs apply to them, such as Section 301 tariffs on China, International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs, reciprocal tariffs, Section 232 tariffs on auto parts, and Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum.

The calculator also provides a step-by-step process to determine potential tariff exposure based on stacking rules, exemptions, and product-specific considerations.

“The recent rounds of tariffs on automotive imports have introduced additional complexity to supply chain planning and cost management,” said Lisa Foshee, ACA’s senior vice president of government affairs and general counsel. “U.S. automotive companies are reviewing sourcing strategies and production logistics to maintain operational efficiency and meet regulatory requirements in a shifting trade environment. We are pleased to be able to offer this new tool to our members to simplify the process.”
