Story updated 7 May
JLR has now restarted shipments to the US following a month-long pause due to US president Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The first shipments from the UK to the US restarted again this week, despite the fact they will still face 25% import tariffs when the reach the US.
A JLR spokesperson told our sister site AMS: ”The US is an important market for JLR’s luxury brands and 25 per cent tariffs on autos remain in place. As we work to address the new US trading terms with our business partners, we are enacting our planned short-term actions, as we develop our mid to long-term plans. We will give a further update in our full-year results in May.”
The OEM said it is taking short-term action by pausing US shipments to develop its longer-term plans to deal with the impact of the tariffs. Last week, Trump confirmed a 25% tariff on imports of finished vehicles taking effect immediately from 3 April, with a 25% tariff on parts imports to come next month.
“The USA is an important market for JLR’s luxury brands,” JLR said in a statement. ”With sufficient stock in the USA, and as we work to address the new trading terms with our business partners, we are enacting our planned short-term actions including a temporary shipment pause in April, as we develop our mid- to longer-term plans.”
JLR has no manufacturing presence in the US, with most of the carmaker’s plants situated in the UK and only a research and innovation facility in Oregon, leaving it exposed to import tariffs.
The move by JLR follows mitigation actions by Stellantis, which announced it is temporarily shutting plants in Canada and Mexico and laying off 900 staff at five plants in the US for the short-term.
In a statement released after the tariffs were confirmed last week, JLR said: “Our luxury brands have global appeal and our business is resilient, accustomed to changing market conditions. Our priorities now are delivering for our clients around the world and addressing these new US trading terms.”
