Tesla Bid for Tariff Exemption for Autopilot "Brain" Rejected By US


US trade officials rejected Tesla Inc’s bid for relief from President Donald Trump’s 25-per cent tariffs on the Chinese-made Autopilot “brain” of its Model 3 and other electric vehicles, one of more than 1,000 product denials linked to China’s industrial development plans.

According to documents filed by the US Trade Representative’s office (USTR) and reviewed by Reuters, exclusion requests from Tesla and others for Chinese-made products from aircraft parts to biotechnology instruments were denied because they were deemed “strategically important” to the “Made in China 2025” program.

Tesla declined to comment.

The company has separate pending tariff exclusion requests for duties on the Chinese-made Model 3 Centre Screen and for the Model 3 Car Computer before USTR.

Tesla is a victim of US-Sino Trade war which has effected its cost of production and hurt its sales. This is not first time that US has put tariffs in a nation. US accuses China for stealing cutting edge American Technology. 

What do you think about this Trump Administration decision? Will China succeed in its vision of Made in China 2025 vision? 

Comments
