Bill Long, president & CEO,
link hidden, please login to view, The Vehicle Suppliers Association, issued this statement regarding the implementation of China tariffs to its membership. Dear MEMA Members,
On February 1, 2025, President Trump signed an
link hidden, please login to view which imposed new tariffs on the majority of items coming from China into the U.S. These new tariffs are being implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The IEEPA tariffs, set at 10%, went into effect at 12:01 am ET on February 4, 2025. There is currently no date by which the tariffs will sunset. Further, the 10% tariffs articulated in this Executive Order will be imposed on top of any prior and existing “duties, fees, exactions, or charges applicable to such imported articles.” China subsequently announced retaliatory tariffs of between 10-15% on certain U.S. goods and further imposed export controls on five critical minerals.
Additional Details:
Goods in Transit: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a
link hidden, please login to view on February 5, 2025 and link hidden, please login to view via the Cargo System Messaging Service which provide more information on the items covered by the new tariffs. Consistent with the language included in the Executive Order, CBP noted that items that are onboard a vessel before 12:01 am EST on February 1, 2025 are exempt from the newly imposed Chinese tariffs of 10% as long as they are entered for consumption (or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption) before 12:01 am EST on March 7, 2025.
However, products of China that are entered for consumption beginning February 4, 2025 would be subject to the new tariffs. Therefore, if there is a product of China that is placed on the vessel between February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2025, but it is not entered until February 4, 2025 or later, then it would still be subject to the tariffs.
CBP further issued guidance via its Cargo Systems Messaging Service on how companies can certify eligibility for this provision. Importers will need to use secondary HTS 9903.01.23 if they are eligible for this “on the water” exception. The use of HTS 9903.01.23 will only be available for those imports within those time-bound requirements.
Goods Covered by the Executive Order: The CBP notice covers the majority of goods coming from China into the U.S. There are very limited exceptions for donations (i.e., food, clothing, medicine used to relieve human suffering) and informational materials (e.g., publications, films, posters). In addition, an importer can make use of the Chapter 98 duty saving or reduction provisions (e.g., U.S. goods returned, goods exported for repair/alteration and returned). See below.
Excluded from the IEEPA Tariffs:
9903.01.21: Articles the product of China and Hong Kong that are donations, by persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, of articles, such as food, clothing, and medicine, intended to be used to relieve human suffering.
9903.01.22: Articles the product of China and Hong Kong that are informational materials, including but not limited to, publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, microfilms, microfiche, tapes, compact disks, CD ROMs, artworks, and news wire feeds.
CHAPTER 98: The additional duties imposed by heading 9903.01.20 shall not apply to goods for which entry is properly claimed under a provision of chapter 98 of the tariff schedule pursuant to applicable regulations of CBP, and whenever CBP agrees that entry under such a provision is appropriate, except for goods entered under heading 9802.00.80; and subheadings 9802.00.40, 9802.00.50, and 9802.00.60. For subheadings 9802.00.40, 9802.00.50, and 9802.00.60, the additional duties apply to the value of repairs, alterations, or processing performed (in China and Hong Kong), as described in the applicable subheading. For heading 9802.00.80, the additional duties apply to the value of the article assembled abroad (in China and Hong Kong), less the cost or value of such products of the United States, as described.
Drawback: The Executive Order states that drawback will not be available for items covered by the IEEPA tariffs.
De Minimis: The Executive Order revoked duty-free “de minimis” treatment for goods coming into the U.S. from China that are subject to the order. According to CBP: “De minimis provides admission of articles free of duty and of any tax imposed on or by reason of importation, but the aggregate fair retail value in the country of shipment of articles imported by one person on one day and exempted from the payment of duty shall not exceed $800.” For more information, see the CBP Guidance on De Minimis Shipments from China:
link hidden, please login to view NOTE: De Minimis Update on 2/7/2025: The White House issued an Executive Order which announced the suspension of the afore-mentioned revocation on de minimis treatment for goods coming from China. MEMA is still analyzing the new order but it indicates that the revocation would return once “adequate systems are in place to fully and expediently process and collect tariff revenue applicable.”
Source:
link hidden, please login to view CBP is expected to issue an updated guidance document to help inform the trade community of the details concerning this change. MEMA will share this information as soon as it becomes available.
Free Trade Zones (FTZ): Beginning February 4, goods subject to these IEEPA tariffs must be admitted in a zone as “privileged foreign status” (with limited exceptions for goods eligible for “domestic status”). When withdrawn from the zone and entered for consumption, the goods will be subject to the IEEPA tariffs (and other applicable duties) related to the classification under the applicable HTSUS subheading in effect at the time of admission.
Exclusions: At this time, there is no language in the Executive Order concerning an exclusion process.
Escalation: The Executive Order includes language stating that the U.S. may escalate these actions if China takes steps to retaliate against U.S. exports and goods.
MEMA will continue to update member companies on any new developments regarding the tariffs. As new details may evolve, we will promptly notify members of any changes as soon as more information becomes available.

*After this statement was released, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the U.S. and Mexico have reached an agreement to delay tariffs for a month. In exchange, Mexico will be putting 10,000 National Guard troops on the Mexico/U.S. border as conversations between the countries continue.
On February 1, 2025, President Donald J. Trump
link hidden, please login to view: An Executive Order expanding a previous Executive Order (Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border – Proclamation 10886, Jan 20, 2025) to include Canada and China and to reiterate a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the National Emergencies Act (NEA). An Executive Order imposing a 25% tariff (ad valorem rate of duty) on all goods entering the United States from Mexico. An Executive Order imposing a 25% tariff (ad valorem rate of duty) on all goods (except energy resources) entering the United States from Canada. Energy resources will be subject to a 10% tariff. An Executive Order imposing a 10% tariff (ad valorem rate of duty) on imports from China. Trade Authority: These new tariffs are being implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Under IEEPA, the President has the ability to take certain actions quickly after declaring a national emergency. The President may terminate the emergency. The U.S. Congress, “could terminate the underlying national emergency by enacting a joint resolution of disapproval.”
Source: Congressional Research Service
Timeline: The tariffs will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. eastern time on Tuesday, February 4, 2025. There is currently no date by which the tariffs will sunset.
Existing Tariffs: The new tariffs articulated in these Executive Orders will be imposed on top of any prior and existing “duties, fees, exactions, or charges applicable to such imported articles.”
Items Covered by the Tariffs: At this time, it appears that all items will be subject to the 25% tariff except in the case of Canada, where a lower 10% tariff will be applied to energy resources. The Trump Administration will publish a Federal Register notice containing the specific HTSUS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States) codes. This notice is not yet available.
Goods in Transit: The Executive Orders concerning Canada, Mexico, and China note that the duty will apply, “except that goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, after such time that were loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading or in transit on the final mode of transport prior to entry into the United States before 12:01 a.m. eastern time on February 1, 2025, shall not be subject to such additional duty, only if the importer certifies to CBP as specified in the Federal Register notice.”
De Minimis: The Executive Orders revoke duty-free “de minimis” treatment for goods coming into the U.S. from Mexico, Canada, and China that are subject to the order. According to CBP, “De minimis provides admission of articles free of duty and of any tax imposed on or by reason of importation, but the aggregate fair retail value in the country of shipment of articles imported by one person on one day and exempted from the payment of duty shall not exceed $800.”
For more information, see Section 321 Programs | U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Drawback: The Executive Orders note that “no drawback shall be available with respect to the duties imposed pursuant to this order.”
Exclusions: At this time, there is no language in the Executive Orders concerning an exclusion process.
Escalation: The Executive Orders include language stating that the U.S. may escalate these actions if the other nations take steps to retaliate against U.S. exports and goods.
Canada:
On February 1, 2025, Canada announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on $155 billion worth of U.S. items. The official statement from the Canadian government noted that these tariffs will be imposed in phases.
The first phase “will include tariffs on $30 billion in goods imported from the U.S., effective February 4, 2025, when the U.S tariffs are applied. The list includes products such as orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee, appliances, apparel, footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics, and pulp and paper. A detailed list of these goods will be made available shortly.” A second phase of tariffs, which will address $125 billion worth of exports from the U.S., will not be imposed until after a 21-day comment period. They will include “products such as passenger vehicles and trucks, including electric vehicles, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, aerospace products, beef, pork, dairy, trucks and buses, recreational vehicles, and recreational boats.” Source: Canada announces $155B tariff package in response to unjustified U.S. tariffs – Canada.ca
Mexico:
On February 1, 2025, Mexico pledged to retaliate against the U.S. tariffs. Press reports indicate that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has directed her government to enact “Plan B.” MEMA is awaiting further details on this action.
China:
China has reacted and pledged retaliatory action against the tariff announcement. However, no specific details were available as of the morning of February 2, 2025. MEMA is monitoring the announcements from the Chinese government on this action.
MEMA will continue to closely monitor these developments and provide our members with timely updates as more details emerge. As we assess the impact of these tariffs, we are actively engaging with members to gather insights and determine the best path forward. Your feedback is invaluable in understanding how these policies affect businesses, employees, customers, and communities.
Be on the lookout for details about member briefings next week, where we will provide further updates and opportunities for discussion, MEMA said.

When it comes to modern vehicles, the performance and reliability we expect are largely due to the integration of sophisticated electronics and systems. One such essential component is the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Control Module. These modules play a critical role in the functionality of a vehicle, ensuring that everything from engine performance to safety features is operating at its best. But what exactly are OEM control modules, and why are they so important?
What Are OEM Control Modules?
OEM control modules are electronic units that control and monitor various functions within a vehicle. These modules are designed and produced by the vehicle’s original manufacturer, which ensures that they meet the highest standards for performance, durability, and compatibility. These modules are responsible for managing crucial systems in a vehicle, such as the engine control system (ECM), transmission control, and braking systems.
Unlike aftermarket parts, which are produced by third-party manufacturers, OEM control modules are specifically designed to match the vehicle’s make, model, and year. As a result, they offer a precise fit and functionality, ensuring the highest level of performance and reliability.
Why Are OEM Control Modules Important?
Enhanced Vehicle Performance: OEM control modules are engineered to interact seamlessly with the other systems in a vehicle. When these modules are working properly, they ensure that the vehicle runs at optimal efficiency, offering better fuel economy, smoother driving, and reduced emissions.
Guaranteed Compatibility: Since OEM control modules are made by the vehicle’s original manufacturer, they are guaranteed to be fully compatible with the vehicle’s systems. This eliminates concerns about compatibility issues that might arise with aftermarket parts, making the replacement or upgrade process much simpler and less risky.
Durability and Reliability: OEM control modules are built to last. They are designed using the same high-quality materials and manufacturing processes used for the original vehicle components, ensuring they offer long-lasting performance. When you choose an OEM module, you're investing in quality that won't let you down.
Warranty and Support: Many OEM control modules come with a warranty, providing peace of mind that any defects or issues will be covered. Additionally, support from the vehicle’s manufacturer ensures that if there is an issue with the part, you have access to reliable customer service and troubleshooting.
Improved Safety: OEM control modules are directly connected to critical safety features in your vehicle, such as airbags, antilock braking systems (ABS), and traction control. Ensuring these modules are in top working order is essential to maintaining the safety of the vehicle.
The Role of OEM Control Modules in Modern Vehicles
Modern vehicles rely on multiple control modules to ensure that everything from the engine to the infotainment system is functioning correctly. Some of the most common OEM control modules include:
Engine Control Module (ECM): This module manages engine functions such as fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions control, ensuring that the engine operates efficiently. Transmission Control Module (TCM): The TCM controls the vehicle’s transmission system, adjusting shifting patterns for smoother performance. Body Control Module (BCM): This module is responsible for non-powertrain functions, such as lighting, door locks, and interior comfort features. ABS Control Module: This module manages the anti-lock braking system, preventing wheel lockup during heavy braking and improving vehicle stability. These are just a few examples, but in today’s vehicles, the integration of electronics in the form of OEM control modules is essential for ensuring everything functions smoothly.
Choosing the Right OEM Control Module
When it comes to replacing or upgrading an OEM control module, it's essential to choose one that fits your specific vehicle model and requirements. Working with trusted auto parts suppliers, like Clifford Auto Parts, ensures that you get a quality OEM control module at a competitive price. It’s always a good idea to check with an expert to ensure you're selecting the right part to suit your vehicle’s needs.
Conclusion
OEM control modules are integral components of modern vehicles, offering superior performance, reliability, and compatibility. Whether you're replacing a faulty module or upgrading your vehicle, choosing OEM parts is the best way to ensure your car or truck continues to run at its best. With their long-lasting durability and guaranteed fit, OEM control modules are a wise investment in the future of your vehicle. Always choose quality and reliability by opting for OEM when upgrading or replacing essential control modules.
By understanding the importance of OEM control modules, vehicle owners can make informed decisions that ensure their vehicle performs optimally for years to come.
