The Commission has designated the information you provide in response to this questionnaire as “confidential business information,” unless such information is otherwise available to the public. The Commission may aggregate the information you provide with information from other questionnaire responses. The Commission will not publish information obtained from your questionnaire response or an aggregation of your and other questionnaire responses in a manner that would identify your firm or reveal the operations of your firm. Section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1332(g)) provides that the Commission may not release information which it considers to be confidential business information unless the party submitting such information had notice, at the time of submission, that such information would be released by the Commission, or such party subsequently consents to the release of the information.

USMCA Automotive Rules of Origin: Economic Impact and Operation Frequently Asked Questions
The United States International Trade Commission (Commission) is an independent Federal Government agency. Part of our work includes responding to requests from the Office of the United States Trade Representative, the Ways and Means Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Committee on Finance of the U.S. Senate.
This investigation and report are conducted in accordance with section 202A(g)(2) of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (“USMCA Implementation Act”)), which requires the Commission to conduct a factfinding investigation (Inv. No. 332-608) on the automotive rules of origin and their impact on the U.S. economy, effect on U.S. competitiveness, and relevancy in light of technological changes. As a part of this investigation, the Commission is conducting a survey to collect information from firms.
This investigation and report are conducted in accordance with the USMCA Implementation Act. Completing the questionnaire is mandatory, and failure to reply as directed can result in a subpoena or other order to compel the submission of records or information in your possession (19 U.S.C. § 1333(a) [PDF, 2 pages]).
The Commission has identified your firm as a motor vehicle producer in the United States.
Yes. The Commission regularly collects and protects confidential business information. Your response will be aggregated with others to develop broad statistics that do not reveal the operations of any one respondent.
Ideally, someone who is familiar with your firm's operations based on the USMCA Implementation Act will complete the questionnaire. In many cases, responding to the questionnaire requires a team of people across business units, such as Canadian or Mexican counterparts if your firm is active in Canada and/or Mexico, and it is helpful if the respondent is someone who can coordinate the gathering of information.
If your firm is an affiliate of a foreign company, please respond as if the affiliate were an independent firm operating in the United States. For example, for an affiliate in the United States, report employment for the affiliate and not for the foreign parent company.
Please provide your response by October 16, 2026. Contact the project team if you need additional time.
