Ford suspends vehicle exports to China as tariff war escalates

by Editorial Team
19 April 2025
in News

Ford Motor Company has announced the suspension of shipments of several vehicle models to China, citing the mounting challenges posed by escalating trade tensions and retaliatory tariffs. The decision affects popular American-made vehicles, including the F-150 Raptor, Mustang, Michigan-assembled Bronco SUVs, and Kentucky-built Lincoln Navigators.

 

The automaker explained in a statement released on Friday that it had “adjusted exports from the U.S. to China in light of the current tariffs,” which have reached levels as high as 150 percent on some U.S.-manufactured vehicles. The steep duties have created significant hurdles for American carmakers seeking to maintain a foothold in the Chinese market.

 

Ford confirmed that it will continue to export engines and transmissions made in the U.S. to China. However, it noted that the Lincoln Nautilus, which is manufactured locally in China, will remain unaffected by the halt in exports but will still be subject to heavy tariff burdens.

 

Industry analysts say the volatile trade environment is severely impacting both automakers and parts suppliers. The Centre for Automotive Research projects that the 25 percent tariffs imposed on U.S. automotive imports will increase industry costs by approximately $108 billion by the end of 2025. The financial toll, analysts warn, is likely to be borne not only by manufacturers but also by consumers through higher vehicle prices.

 

An internal Ford memo obtained by Reuters indicated that the company is evaluating potential price hikes on new vehicles to offset the long-term impact of tariffs. Although nearly 80 percent of the vehicles Ford sells in the U.S. are manufactured domestically, the added cost pressures could still prompt the company to adjust pricing strategies to sustain profitability in the face of trade uncertainty.
