Tariffs on antique car parts going to the US
I am preparing to list some antique car parts. They are Chryco parts from 1957. They are new. They are almost certainly made in the US. They dont have country of manufacture on them. What should I say in the listing about US buyers and tariffs? Thanks---Mike

·1 month ago@john_koenig99 points out a very big "if" when using the eIS to handle the exportation of items like that. My sense is that if you don't have evidence of where the parts were manufactured, eIS isn't going to be able to produce this information out of nowhere for CBP and your item likely won't move on from the hub to its destination. Vintage/antique items and automobile parts seem to be problematic for eIS to handle for a variety of reasons, the country of origin/manufacture issue being just one of those reasons.
My understanding is that Chryco was an operation of Chrysler Canada. Since the Auto Pact wasn't signed until 1965, I think it's more likely that the parts were manufactured in Canada rather than the US.
I think you'd be best hanging onto the parts for a while and see what happens if the US and Canada get things straightened out with the NAFTA talks.
In the meantime, you may want to get someone to have a look at the parts or pictures of them and offer their opinion. Tommy the Chryco, maybe?

·1 month agoIf you are setup for eIS and they are accepted(?) you're set.
Otherwise, you are going to have a lot of problems is you don't have a way to prove that they are, in fact, manufactured in the US.
